MI5 tests out new Threat Levels

You will have noticed that Postman Patel has been on-line for Alert levels since John Reid (our Saviour and our strength) announced the changes to reporting them in July, we wisely anticipated that they would soon be utilised / changed - and voila today we have been showing CRITICAL since 2.am.BST - "an attack is expected imminently"

Why? Because we are ON LINE to MI5. Protecting you the reader - Postman really cares.

News outlets are claiming a plot to blow up planes (using bombs in hand luggage) outbound from Heathrow to the USA has been thwarted this morning. NO arrests / raids have been reported (see lower down) NO bombed planes either. 11.00 BST According to The Associated Press, the terrorists had targeted United, American and Continental airlines, two U.S. counterterrorism officials said. and they had just started making money again. Let's see who shorted airline stocks again.

New security procedures are in play at all UK airports and details are available here on the Home Office website. Good job they had stocks in of the plastic bags need to hold personal possessions as new procdeures mean all hand luggae has to go in the hold. So that's a few laptops and mobiles on the loose then at Theifrow.

The Home Secretary has made a statement but the page on the Home Office Website is now up and running. The BBC On Line website gives details (constantly changing) for most UK airports with flights for foreign destinations.

All major Eurpean airlines are cancelling flights to and from Heathrow / UK die to "logistical" problems rather than securioty reasons.


By curious coincidence the Home Secretary (our Saviour and our Strength) made a speech YESTERDAY which is on the Home Office website

In it he said ....

Home Secretary John Reid warned that the threat from terrorists remains strong, and called for all citizens to remain alert to the possibility of terrorist activity in their communities. (WOW Nostradamus speaks)

Calling this an 'age of uncertainty' Home Secretary Reid said police and security services are working non-stop to prevent another terrorist attack, but that they cannot do it alone. 'While I am confident that the security services and police will deliver 100% effort and 100% dedication,' he said, 'they cannot guarantee 100% success'. (Pic Heathrow this am (c) BBC)

If more violent attacks on UK citizens are to be stopped, the public, corporations - everyone - will have to do its part to help, he said.

He called on the public to do all it can to stay alert and notify authorities of any suspicious activity, and warned: 'We are probably in the most sustained period of severe threat since the end of World War II.'
Post-Cold War confusion

" ...... porous borders, failed states, civil wars and ethnic tensions made the world a very dangerous place...... globalisation ensures that decisions taken on the other side of the globe can have immediate impact right here at home" noy yer average Glaswegian Communist talking there then.

The mass migration .... big benefits ....... huge challenges .... sheer volume of international migration ..... insecurity into the heart of our communities.... BLAME THE FOREIGNERS

The...... genuine asylum seekers .....the system is plagued by fakes, many of them with dangerous agendas ...... use the country's free and open system to help with their plots.

..... new threat to the UK ...... comes not from fascist nations (like Israel maybe ?) but from fascist individuals ( like Dubya maybe ?) who are not bound by international laws or treaties, but operate as freelance criminals.

Let's talk about immigration

Dr Reid called for ......a national discussion on the benefits and costs of a growing multi-national UK population.

..... How much of a price are we willing to pay for our own security? Or for the preservation of our freedom? How much will we pay as a nation if we make the wrong choices?

I think we are jolly lucky to have such a great guy who can tell us about these threats today ... and GEE WHIZZ , they happen tomorrow !!! What kind of guy is that !! Hey he has got my interests at heart !!!

So. I wait umpteen hours at Heathrow and am allowed to fly naked carrying my toothbrush and some folding money in a clear plastic bag. That is the price of freedom boy.

Here's a funny thing .... from the BBC site of pcitures ..."And with the security alert focusing on liquids, mothers were told that they would be required to taste baby milk before it would be allowed on to a flight." Exploding baby milk and dying suicide bombing babies - how evil can these bastards get ? Good job the picture shows a Somali (?) woman with a baby , not a white woman.

Now that Israel and it's saturation bombing, and invasion of Lebanon are off the front page there is an interesting take on this news about Heathrow from a German , muslim pilot living in the UK here .
