UK Raises Its Terror Threat Level to 'Severe'
- moe 17y agoSo. And? Why are they telling me this? Can I call my boss now and take a week off because there's too much terror? Is it so they can say "told you so" when something blows up next week? Is it to deter the terrorists ("We watch your every step, yes we do")? I don't get it.

- mark_l_watson 17y agoJust a guess, but: their economy is doing poorly and/or there is some political scandal, and their government wants people to think of something (anything) else. Leave it to law enforcement to take appropriate precautions, but trying to scare your own population seems really bogus.
