One most incident like this and they’ll dock a destroyer in the River Thames.

=> Security theater!

Raised for what? The self inflicted wound of allowing Islamic terrorists to be born and bred in the country, going off to fight in Iraq and Syria, then returning home, oh and in Finland or Germany (I forgit which), they get FIRST IN LINE PERFERRED HOUSING when they return!!!! When you walk out in the pond on half inch thin ice, expect to get your stupid head wet!!! Islam is already in the country. The UK and EU will simply answer this by denying Islam had anything to do with it, then give them more free stuff to make it better. Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Theresa May said they were searching for a motive......must be Unhappy Swedish Bicyclists.

...while Teresa May tries to make it Trump’s fault?

I will give her benefit of doubt. I bet the MEDIA in England is just as full of crap as the MEDIA in America.

But Trump is right about 95% of the time after the smoke of media fake outrage clears.

Any student of history can easily see that Islam is a danger. Wake up.

Such a shame. Mental illness seems to be running rampant over there. One would think a progressive nation with socialized medicine would have better treatment for mental illness.

I hate to say this, but unfortunately, the UK is reaping what they’ve sown!

Why is she doing that? It’s just “part and parcel of living in a big city”, right?

What’s more odd is countries giving them religious status. Just read the Quoran - they are following instructions to a T.

This is from 2011 and was falsely attributed to John Cleese but still relevant

European Alert Status

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's Get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

They have come a long way down since Churchill’s day. Thanks for pointing out the striking differences.

...”What kind of people would promote their faith by means of terrorizing people? An absolutely creepy cult.”....

People who practice Islam that’s who.....they are doing what their Quran tells the to do. What’s really stunning is it’s membership KNOW they are planning and doing this, as well as their families,......yet dare to proclaim “ISlAM” is innocent. When in fact ISlAM is the problem.

Whats stunning is that those who know ISlam and those who practice it agree with Trump.....they want to kill us. But Germany, the UK and France say otherwise even while they’re blowing them up!

You just can’t commingle muslims and any other culture and expect peace. It’s never worked anywhere it’s been tried.

You left out Gert Wilders, Pamela Gellar, and Robert Spencer who have all been denied entrance to the UK. Free Speech is dead there and greatly threatened here.
