Default New Year Terror threat levels increased.

*New Year brings rise in Security Alert State*
>
> Recent terrorist threats have caused the English to raise their

> The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when

Yay, Scots!

I'm sure the overly-polite English would like to refute the assesment of their terror-threat levels, but they are indubitably concerned about causing a stir. If only the Empire could return to the glory days when any son of a king could be a king......when girls were girls and boys were women and other nations didn't have boats

Us, lose ? Never



I especially liked the NZ and Australian levels, and certainly the scots

Greetings,
Catfish

P.S. But really, when i first heard of Bush's introduced "alert" levels in the US i imagined the Star trek audio alert sirens going off in all US cities lol.
"National alert level" , t'was quite a good idea, either frighten the own population to make them shut up against surveillance measures, or begin a war ...

Just think of it as "executing a strategic defeat."

You can never be too careful.
