These are the lowest since levels were made public. Click the pic for the full BBC news article.
The terrorist threat to the UK has been lowered from “severe” to “substantial”, the lowest since levels were made public.
Hearing the headline made me laugh out loud. I know it’s a serious subject, but the semantics sound like the script of Brasseye.
Here is the outline of the threat level system:
Low - attack is unlikely
Moderate - attack is possible, but not likely
Substantial - attack is a strong possibility
Severe - attack is highly likely
Critical - attack is expected imminently
What a load of nonsense.
We should colour code it like the Americans.
Remember to KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON
