Yes as the New Way is a Small Cell
so we will not get a warning.


In that Kosher Supermarket
4 were killed by one terrorist and his women,
before any Police got in there
I think they may have tried to stop him.


If I was there, I would Head Butt him,
I would grab his gun
point it at his chin

I agree, it's a warning, not scaremongering. A ship I used to work on had a sign in the mess which read 'Eternal vigilence is the price of safety'.
I think that applies to all of us today. If you see anything suspicious, report it, even if it turns out to be innocent, at least you will have done something.
If they want to bring the fight to us, bring it on, but let them be warned, we WILL fight back.

MI5 isn't spinning right wing propaganda. It's working 24/7 to keep the citizens of this country safe. If you want to dismiss it, that's your choice, but it's rather insulting to the operatives who are keeping you safe.

Also, your comment about getting guns through border control... do you imagine that people rock up to our borders then wander through the green channel with weapons in their pockets? Strange to see you think they should up their game despite believing there isn't really a threat, just a lot of scaremongering.
