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.

I hate to admit it but I've met plenty of people who don't really like america but they think that there is something waiting here for them.
I honestly don't think it does much good to let people in the country who don't like us. Fuck them if their country is a shithole and watch me not even give a fuck if it's our fault.
Most of the current refugees are actually from wars of decades past and not from syria.. yet we all seemed ok to not give a fuck my entire life and indeed even to consume the fruits of their oppression and slave labor.
I think it's ok to help people out but we need to screen them to the point we'd be ok being neighbors with the people we let in. I believe that there are plenty of refugees who we can screen for and allow admission.
