London prepared for 10 terror attacks

[seeder]

London 'preparing for up to 10 simultaneous terror attacks' in wake of Paris shootings. 'We are ready if someone tries with seven, eight, nine, ten'

Police in London have reportedly been ordered to prepare for as many as 10 terror attacks happening at once across the capital, in a dramatic escalation of the capital’s readiness in the wake of the Paris shootings.

Quoting a Government minister with knowledge of the proposals for enhanced security, the Sunday Times reported that police had made cracking down on firearms a top priority.

It comes after an alleged gang of gunrunners appeared in court charged with smuggling an “evil” shipment of 22 Czech-made assault rifles and nine sub-machine guns into Britain from Eastern Europe.

That's good. Preparedness is half way to prevention.

[+and-then]

Sounds like they've watched "London has Fallen".

[Imaginarynumber1]

I guess 11 would be too many for them to handle.

Terrorist attack in Brussels, sory to hijack

How can they possibly be prepared? there are so many anti British radical muslims in this country, they can not know all what is going on inside the mosques the councils have so happily given planning permission for, they can not possibly know all those radicals who have been allowed to flourish because this is a "free" country, they can not possibly know all the radical muslims in the muslim communities who are bringing up their children to be anti western and anti British and teaching their new generations that allah is great and they will eventually take over the western world.

I don't know why the West gets involved in other people's cultures at all. There will be a documentary on UK TV soon condemning the executions in Saudi - why? Let them get on with it.

500 years ago the West embarked on Crusades, a 100 years ago the West sent missionaries to convert "heathens", to try to change other cultures to be more like the West.

Live and let live, I say.

The heathens were westeners.....are westerners.

We can say we have no business in these other countries, but remember we have thousands trying to come to our western country because = of their own countries wars or that they want to come and live in a free country. ......

I can fully understand why people would want to move to a free country, problem is they also want the same cultures here as they had back there....if someone want s to move to the west, they should not bring their ideals with them, it is these "ideals" which is causing the problems.

They should leave their religion behind or better still, stand and fight for your rights in your own country and if they need help from elsewhere, then I think we should help them.

[itsnotoutthere]

Lets hope that all those ISIS guys sweeping through the middle east at the moment don't stumble across an abandoned nuke, because if they manage to smuggle one of those into a European capital it'll be a game changer.

I agree they should leave their "ideals"behind them.

I also think that while I find beheading in the street without a proper trial is pretty rough justice, we won't stop them doing it just by saying we disapprove. They think we are infidels anyway, and we are not improving that image by dropping bombs on them everyday!

[Ashotep]

I'm afraid taking their ideas to Europe was the reason for migrating. At least for some of them.

Better worry about the guns they didn't find. You could hide one under a burka easy enough if you wanted to attack someone. If a place is being guarded they will just move on to another target.

You might educate yourself a bit on the Crusades. The west was attacked for several hundred years by Islamic raiders before they fought back.

In time you will fight them or bow to them. You aren't going to have a third choice. If you wait too long to fight then you won't even have THAT choice. This is real world, right now...time to wake up.

We have no right to go to their countries and drop bombs. The whole thing is so messed up, the west have allowed them into our countries with open arms, allowed them to build mosques and allowed them to continue living the same way they would in muslim countries with their ideologies and in some areas now, laws...the west have done nothing to deter them from flourishing here. It is in our countries where it has to stop.

You can not go and bomb the fundamentalists when at the same time, over the years we have been told to "embrace" islam and they have been allowed to grow, breed and rear their children under islam right here under our noses.

Because of political correctness and the western leaders so into their multicult society, the western leaders so intent on embracing islam and allowing them to literally have everything they do in a muslim country, but over here, our leaders have put them on their path to achieving their ideology of making our country an Islamic one.

They are intent on out breeding us and they are making sure their children are raised under the Islamic belief....which includes not accepting western culture, lifestyle or laws.

This is no secret, even your "good" muslim who does not want to kill us, still wants our land to be a muslim one.

In such of short space of time, muslim areas have grown pretty fast, within a few decades.

Let them have their Islamic countries.....not turn ours into one, which is what will happen within a couple of hundred years (if that) if we keep bending over backwards in allowing them to have their way.

This may sound harsh against their religion, but we are witnessing the early stages of the young generation of muslims turning against us, this is a generation of muslims born in the west, raised by the last generation....what does the future look like if we allow that to continue, what will happen if sharia law is granted in all muslim communities? its already started.

No need for ISIS to get a nuke, they could just attack nuke plants.... remember Fukishima,Chernobyl...ie. damaged reactors and all the problems that caused??? Still causing....

TERROR THREAT: UK Power Stations 'at risk' from DEADLY nuclear ATTACK

BRITISH nuclear power plants are not equipped to deal with terrorist attacks, a shocking new report has claimed.

And a devastating nuclear attack, which could release radiation into the atmosphere, could be triggered by a simple USB flash drive.

The terrifying Stuxnet virus used this method to breach Iran's nuclear facilities.

"At the same time, hackers dispose of a growing number of tools - automatic cyber attack packages are widely available, advanced techniques used by Stuxnet are now widely publicised and can be used by less sophisticated actors, and specialised search engines can identify critical infrastructure that is connected to the internet."

http://www.express.c...Cyber-Terrorist

Sometimes the media are better off keeping their mouths shut!

I class this as scaremongering and also letting the nutters who are not in the know yet - - in the know now.

Sometimes this kind of reporting gives too much information to those they are trying to warn us about.

And more needs to be done to stop those who are making cyber attack packages available.

There is only one threat level higher than Britain's current classification, dubbed "Critical", which means a terror attack is expected "imminently."

If this really is the case, then shut the things down and do not wait for it to happen.

I disagree, FTR. If those countries teach such hate and then allow it's citizens to emigrate here to the west then those countries are most definitely complicit. Bombs won't win this war but it will darned sure deter SOME governments from adding to the chaos. And wringing our hands over "creating more jihadis" is a losers game. LET THEM COME! Countries that winn wars do so by killing the enemy until they lose the will to keep fighting. You cannot negotiate with pure evil. It must be destroyed utterly.

Buy they are not new. The islamists have been around for a long time. Todays radical muslims are the just the new generation with better weapons. Their religion and ideology is the same as the past.

What is new is they are now flourishing in the west. We are not just dealing with the radical muslims in muslim countries, the problem lies with the young muslims in OUR country.

We have to put a halt on the new generations being taught islam is great and will take over the western world. What they do in their muslim countries is their problem. If some need help, fine, but they must not be allowed to migrate to our countries and bring their ideology with them.....any more!"

Ahh the danger! Here's one news from last year: "Nearly 9,500 people die each year in London because of air pollution – study" and yet no politician ever set out a plan to save 9,500 people that die in London because of this.

Why is that? Is it not worse 9500 people dying then what 35 in Brussels and 100 or so in Paris? I'd say pollution is much worse enemy and yet where is the plan? Few hundred people die each year out of terrorist attacks and we see launch of wars where there is no care how much they cost (because UK is also involved in wars in Middle East) and on the other hand millions of people worldwide die out of bad air and other pollution - no plan. No political speeches.

Perhaps because a few hundred dead (not so few if one is your loved one) is not guaranteed going forward? A man who will end his life to kill as many others as possible is a man who's lethality is only limited by the weapons he can obtain. The air pollution we all should be ACUTELY concerned with is the kind that comes with nuclear fallout. While it is not yet probable, it is no longer unthinkable.

Well said. The reality doesn't come close to equaling the reaction.

Americans more likely to be killed by their furniture than terrorism in 2012: http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/06/americans-are-as-likely-to-be-killed-by-their-own-furniture-as-by-terrorism/258156/

In 2013 literally twice the amount of Americans died from dog bites than from terrorism : http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2013.php http://www.huffingtonpost.com/h-a-goodman/of-the-17891-deaths-from_b_5818082.html

in 2015 more TODDLERS caused violent deaths to Americans than terrorists : http://www.snopes.com/toddlers-killed-americans-terrorists/

Lets stop buying the military industrial complexes bull**** and stop giving them limitless amounts of money to go on a global snipe hunt.

Lets stop buying the military industrial complexes bull**** and stop giving them limitless amounts of money to go on a global snipe hunt.

Not only that but even terrorists groups like Talibans and ISIS are actually funded by US - don't believe me just look at HBO's episode of documentary series "Vice" called "Afghan Money Pit & the Pacification of Rio".

And also one of the recent news: About 7 million Americans live in areas of the central and eastern United States that could experience a damaging earthquake in 2016 that was caused by human activity such as fracking. Who cares - as long as they're safe from terrorists.

So what could be done?

Well one of the faster and more feasible and faster solutions could be A traveling-wave reactor (TWR) which is a nuclear fission reactor that uses nuclear waste.

Here's what wikipedia says about it:

"TWRs use only a small amount (~10%) of enriched uranium-235 or other fissile fuel to initiate the nuclear reaction. The remainder of the fuel consists of natural or depleted uranium-238, which can generate power continuously for 40 years or more and remains sealed in the reactor vessel during that time. TWRs require substantially less fuel per kilowatt-hour of electricity than do LWRs, owing to TWRs' higher fuel burnup, energy density and thermal efficiency. A TWR also accomplishes most of its reprocessing within the reactor core. Spent fuel can be recycled after simple "melt refining", without the chemical separation of plutonium that is required by other kinds of breeder reactors. These features greatly reduce fuel and waste volumes while enhancing proliferation resistance."

So where is it? Apparently, according to wki article, it's left only to China to develop it and they expect to make it in late 2020's. Why only China? Why not jump on that and develop it as soon as possible? People are dying. Everything is.

What else? We already talked about nuclear fusion and sure I heard from plasma physicist Francis F. Chen that fusion could be achieved in 10 years if there was a serious project like Manhattan. And speaking about nuclear energy there was recently a video on youtube by Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff talking about Thorium and he said if army didn't need atom bomb we wouldn't even have nuclear energy today because it would be to expensive for civilians to invest in something so pricey like Manhattan project. - I mean figure that! Too expensive!

Even when there was that Wendelstein 7-X recently turned on in Max Planck institute the reporters couldn't help themselves but to notice how the whole project costed "towering 1.06 Euros" yes money that could be spent on buying half of B2 bomber - what a "waste".
