Bomb threat for central London
 
Just heard via radio 2,that dissident Irish republican group have issued a bomb threat for central London.

Nothing on Sky and no specific location.
Threats of this type must be a regular occurrence but to announce it via the media must raise the stakes.
Let's hope it turns into nothing but an idle threat or a hoax...

Must be some bad economic news on the way hence the need for the old terror threat distraction ploy!

You'd think they'd wait till next year.

This will help to explain away the forthcoming poor Q2 economic figures.

Yep :thumb:

As a slight aside I wonder if people out there and some on this board actually can comprehend a terrorist threat that doesn't mention the word Muslim ;)

We do, but since you mentioned the words Muslim and Terrorist in the same sentence, we cant be sure :Suspiciou

Maybe because the coded threat came from someone called Mohammed 'O' Reilly :Suspiciou

Tension is also running high in Dublin, where 30m euros has been spent on security for the visit.
Now, where on earth did Dublin obtain that amount of spare cash :Suspiciou

I do hope they spent at least a few quid of it on Union Jack bunting for the visit.

I never could understand why they goto the effort of making a bomb and planting it, and then telling the plod that they have put a bomb somewhere?

What they're too thick to realise is that they're bankrupt and cannot afford to run what they have now, let alone take on the cost of running Northern Ireland.

Because 9 times out of 10 you don't have to go to the trouble of actually building and planting a bomb, yet has the same disruptive effect.

Designed to cause alarm and despondency, and also extra problems for the authorities.

Because the aim of terrorists as their name suggests is to cause terror and unease. So the fact that the Police find a bomb causes disruption and in addition makes people uneasy.

You do have to let one go off every so often to make the threat real.
