The Labour Government cranks up the fear level of terrorism on British soil and asks us to spy on our neighbours















Dear All

It’s that time of year for the Labour Government to create fear in the population.

The best way to do it is to raise the UK terror threat level.

The UK terror threat level now stands at "severe".

This means that an attack is highly likely.

So, why is the Government alerting the terrorists?

This reminds of the Labour Party using tanks at Heathrow, when was the last time a terrorist got off a plane at Heathrow in a tank?

So, we are told to be vigilant but vigilant to what and whom?

Every Asian person we walk past who happens to be carrying a bag?

Johnson said;

"We never say what the intelligence is and it would be pretty daft of us to do that."

This begs the question of why they are alerting possible terrorists that the security services know of something in the wind.

He added;

"We still face a real and serious threat to the UK from international terrorism, so I would urge the public to remain vigilant and carry on reporting suspicious events to the appropriate authorities and to support the police and security services in their continuing efforts to discover, track and disrupt terrorist activity."

Suspicious events, like what?

And how do we support the Police and Security Services by saying it is okay for them to do what they like carte blanche?

I hardly think so; I don’t give out a rubber stamp.

Another gem by Mr Johnson;

"We have a very adept and very focused counter-terrorism facility in this country, which consists of many police officers as well as security officers, so the public should be reassured by that."

I am not assured and given this country is such a mess, am I expected to be believed that these people are competent when the clowns above them aren’t?

As the Tories rightly point out;

"It would be so much more helpful, though, if only the public knew what it meant. At the moment it is merely vacuous."

And less we forget, Johnson had the help of the security services before issuing the statement.

Finally, People don't want to live in fear so spying on their neighbour won't be happening.
