so an attack is imminent

[myoriginal3]

AIBU to be a little freaked, living in London?

I don't live in london but am scared silly

It could be anywhere - we don't know.

We just have to carry on with our lives - what's the alternative?

Military called in ffs.

This is worrying

Stupidly scary. We're meant to be attending a wedding at a hotel this weekend and I honestly don't even want to go. Petrifying.

Really ? It's been imminent forever OP
Easy for me to say though as don't commute to central London

Ai

Have we gone up a notch?

omg what now???

Has the threat been upgraded to critical?

Source?

I'm in London too, use the tubes and buses and bridges every day. It's scary, but what can you do?

I don't really see the point on the 'imminent' alert status. Either there's a known terror threat, in which case it's best to eliminate that without drawing too much attention to the fact, or there's not, in which case panicking people will achieve nothing.

Breaking news on bbc.

Nothing has changed.

Source is Teresa May a minute ago raising the level to critical.

The threat has been imminent for a long time now, you have to trust our security services and our police and carry on

Not to take away from the atrocity of terror attacks but statistically you are more likely to be killed or injured in a road accident. Just to put things into perspective

I've just texted my two older lads who are away at university, one's in Manchester. Just to say be careful, be alert and take care.

What else is there to say.

according to what source?
Link would be appreciated as still wrestling a hyper toddler who napped too long

She just gave a press conference where she raised the threat level to critical and has called in the military to assist at things like music festivals etc.
Critical status means an attack is either underway or imminent.

BBC and Telegraph have both reported this.

Daytona What is the point in that scaremongering?!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

That's all I have to say.

sorry for x-post. see previous re: wrestling

I am scared. I know that's exactly what the terrorists want but I can't help it, I don't want to raise my children in this cruel world
