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.

Given that this is coming from the Sun, it sounds like a piece saying 'look, the Tories aren't responsible for a massive housing crisis and increase in homelessness, those aren't actually homeless people that you're seeing, they're all undercover SAS soldiers making you safe! But please keep being afraid of the scary terrorists!'
For those keeping score at home: the number dead in the Grenfell Tower as a result of the Tories refusing to push through regulation that had been recommended by a government-commissioned safety review to ban highly inflammable insulation material has now killed 79 people. The 7/7 2005 bombing of the London underground, the worst terrorist attack in the UK in the last couple of decades, killed 56 (52 if you don't count the suicide bombers). The 2017 Westminster attack killed 5 (plus the attacker), and the June 2017 attack killed 8 (plus three attackers). That's a total of 65 for the terrorists over a period of 12 years, against 79 for the Tories in a single event. STRONG AND STABLE!

Since Grenfell Tower appears to have been populated mostly by muslim immigrants, I'm just waiting for the fire to be blamed on right-wing extremists.

I believe the most recently named culprit was a refrigerator. Any knowledge of its political views are pure speculation.

Don't forget the concert bombing. Another 22.
