For the first time in 10 years, the Prime Minister said the terror threat had been raised to the highest possible level, from severe to critical, meaning an attack is "expected imminently".
[...] Mrs May also announced that troops would replace police officers at set-piece events including sports venues and concerts.
It will be the first time since 2003 – when the Government reacted to a plot to bring down an airliner – that troops are deployed on the streets.
[...] It is the first time Britain has been on maximum terrorist alert since 2007, when a blazing car loaded with gas canisters was driven into Glasgow Airport.

Islamic "refugees" [twitter.com] should be here on licence for two generations. Withhold citizenship for members of death cults.

Withhold citizenship for members of death cults.
I like this idea. We should do it in the US. However, it would be hard to achieve politically, because that would cause I'm guessing about 70% of the citizenry to be stripped of their citizenship, including most politicians, since so much of the US is Christian.

Oh no most of these true believers would flip the second they were immersed in a culture that ridiculed their stone age beliefs. Most of the rest are only christian because they believe being so will carry some sort of reward.
The rest are such a small number of people.. tell me how often you meet a christian who doesn't have a primary interest in pleasing their peers or getting fabulous prizes in heaven? I know a few but they're exceptionally rare.
