UK Terror Alert overdue

For those folks who organise these things, as the crowds fill the shops or head off to New York as the US$ plummets against the pound and the Euro to buy those essential gew gaws and baubles that the Chinese fillet the Western economies with ..... an alert is way, way overdue.

The airwaves are crackling with the mysterious Balonyium - 120 and dead and dubious ex (are they ever ?) Soviet spies, it's time to bring out the Osmium Tetroxide, Ricin, Kryptonite or exploding Marmalade again.

Anyway Clark of the Met's Terrorist Gang hasn't been on TV with his dire warnings and "sound intelligence" and he's getting withdrawal symptoms - not to mention a touch of jealousy that that Yates chappy is getting too much air - time.

UPDATE

The Scotsman reports
..." COBRA, the government's top emergency team, has met three times since Thursday to discuss the death of an ex-KGB man.

... COBRA was previously convened when a plot to blow up airliners was foiled in August." Ho.Ho.

TRAVELLERS TOP TIP

Don't even THINK of boarding a British Airways flight with your crucifix and garlic clove kit.
