Troops onto the streets of London and other major cities is now possible....
We could even see a postponing of the election apparently

They think another attack could be imminent rather than likely. |  |

Yep, and airport security has been stepped up too as a special measure | | | |

It's forward looking rather than reflective, so work it out.
Intelligence is a funny old thing, but this is not a step taken lightly by any Government. Last seen in 2007
Edit: I should add the decision is not Theresa May's to make, but JTAC (an independent, non-political body) [Post edited 23 May 2017 22:05]

Presumably, for it to be raised to critical they have to have info that another attack is about to happen. That Operation Temperer has been deployed is concerning. 5000 troops is a lot. [Post edited 23 May 2017 22:04]

Basically they now think another attack is immenent in the coming days/weeks
The possibility that a wasn't a lone attacker changed it to 'critical' apparently
Quite a big bit of news. |  |

I like to think of imminent as being used only for TWTD transfer rumours. Sad that it has to be associated with evil. |  |

Part show of force, part keep people safe.
I don't want to get into it here, but as said earlier the PM has no say in the raising of the threat level | | | |

it is worth noting that it was raised to critical in 2007 . but it was only at critical for a matter of 4 days - the period at which the london car bombs and glasgow airport attack occured | |

The suggestion I heard was that the single, reasonably developed suicide belt used last night was probably not the only one in existence (apparently one does not go to the trouble of getting all the materials to make only a very small batch of improvised explosives). Thus until the source is cleared up or they're found, there has to be the risk there are more out there and someone may try to use one. |  |

Agree, it is normally a very short-term measure meant to signify the worst possible threat.
Hopefully they manage to neutralise the threat | | | |

Think of Red Dwarf and the purple alert segment.
I know this whole situation is no joking matter. |  |

Interesting edit....
My guess would be that the authorities are concerned about the existence of a bomb maker not partaking in actual acts of aggression. Making bombs that go off when you want them too is not straight forward. | |

Thought it was correct to add it, as i'd already seen people thinking it might be a party political move | | | |
