The threat level from Northern Ireland-related terrorism in Great Britain has gone up from moderate to substantial.

It means an attack in England, Scotland or Wales is "a strong possibility".

Home Secretary Theresa May said the level, set by security service MI5, "reflects the continuing threat from dissident republican activity".

It’s like the 1980s again. They was gentlemen bombers, you know. Gentlemen. They’d phone you up to warn you that something would explode. Not like those modern foreign lot who keep you guessing...

Let me guess - someone at MI5 was given a Peaky Blinders box set and thought it was actionable intel?

Dissident punishment attacks and other shootings have skyrocketed here in recent months.

Just had the awful thought that a high profile shooting on the mainland would actually be better in their terms than a bomb. The press and attention seem to be what they're about at the moment. I'd also imagine it's difficult to compete with those Paul quite rightly alluded to.

I saw on the news last night a clip of them marching in their "combats", flags and with mirror aviation shades
I thought that if someone with a bit of skill added bit of pink to their "uniforms" and set the whole thing to Abba / Village people it would the the worlds best gay pride march
