The UK terror threat level has been lowered from "severe" to "substantial", the Home Office has said.

The level was raised in 2007, meaning a terrorist attack was "highly likely". The downgrading means there is a "strong possibility" of an attack.

Can anyone make any sense of this at all?

But not quite as soon as they thought until today?  

Like on Wednesday, instead of Tuesday, like. So that's all right then.

Nope.  No sense whatsoever.


I think that they just want us all to feel safe and secure.....Oh and to forget about the expenses claims, the Charlie Whelan/Damien McBride debacle, the war in Afghanistan, the You Tube broadcast, retrospective car tax, the Nigerian oil adventure, secret donations to the Labour Party........

And the fact that VAT will go back up to 17.5% in October
