The growing threat from "extreme right-wing" terrorism will be included in official threat-level warnings for the first time, the home secretary has announced.

Until now, the alerts – which tell the public if the risk is low, substantial or critical – have taken into account the threat of attack from Islamists only.

The change follows growing recognition of the rising threat from the far right, since the murder of 50 Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March.

    There will probably be other additions later, with the “outdated” definitions slowly removed too. Eventually just one category will remain: “thought criminal”.

    If that was the case there would no longer be an islam problem. They would all be in jail or dead as befits people who would kill others to have their way.

      Notice the grandparent's use of the future tense.

      They would all be in jail or dead as befits people who would kill others to have their way.

      Or everybody else would be, amirite? What beliefs end up being thoughtcrime would depend more on who ends up on top.

    Ah yes, throwing children into inhumane prosons is totally fone, but they better not come after Jim Bob McShooty!!!!

    Save the hysterics for something actually worrisome. Maybe get outraged about the environmental groups that are treated as terrorust groups. Nope, spineless shit heels only cry like babies when they get disciplined. Conservatives have to be the biggest pussies around.
