Armed SAS troops have reportedly been deployed to key positions in busy streets across the UK, with hopes that the tactic will have soldiers poised for any unfolding terror attacks.

One source told The Mirror: "The view is there are so many homeless people out there undercover operators will remain safe and anonymous.

[...] Another source claimed to the paper that the operation had been ongoing for "some time", with soldiers stationed around transport hubs and shopping centres.

Soldiers from the Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing have reportedly been drafted for the operation.

    Just put the word out that there are undercover agents spying on the homeless and watch as the paranoid homeless population murder each other to eliminate the undercover threat. For extra evil bonus points the undercover agents do not even have to exist.

    That would be the way I'd do it. Then I'd leak that bus drivers were also sikrit anti-terrist agents. And bag ladies. And chavs. And pigeons. That'd put the wind up those pesky terrists, everywhere they go they're surrounded by sikrit law enforcement personnel.

    Especially the pigeons.
