More scaremongering

Sir Ian Blair has joined the Government in attempting to raise our fears of a terrorist attack over the Christmas period. He has said the UK is facing an increasing threat of a terrorist attack.

This comes just weeks after Home Secretary John Reid said a similar thing. My guess is this is being said so that were something to happen, those responsible for preventing it, can say we told you! Some reassurance.

Sir Blair has said there was “no specific intelligence” of a new attack but there was an “ever present” chance. This whole line from the Government and the Met really is getting quite boring now. The scaremongering tactic this Government has adopted to try and justify its legislation really drops to the lowest level.
