I noticed from the other thread that the UK has sane/logical names for their threat levels. Theirs is not at critical.

Why do we use colors? It isn't the easiest thing to understand at a glance.

MI5 has raised the UK threat level to critical - the highest possible.

According to MI5's website, critical threat level means "an attack is expected imminently and indicates an extremely high level of threat to the UK".

as per BBC report
