Looks like they want more money and rights to do what they want.Yeah, they don't make it sound so bad here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8476238.stm
I suppose you can't help take precautions. And I suppose the terrorists are less likely to terrorise if everyone is more alert.
Although, I may just sit in the last carriage of the train tomorrow, just in case ;D
When you're sitting in that last carriage, have a look at all the worried faces of everyone in there. They're probably all in the last carriage for the same reason.
Terrorist threats don't impact on my life at all. The area of Liverpool I live in, there's nothing newsworthy to blow up (somehow I don't think the local Co-Op or the Dog & Gun post office would have the same impact as Tower Bridge or Heathrow airport) and besides, I've a feeling nobody here would notice an explosion anyway - not unless it was the betting shop that bit the dust. :)
I worked in a shopping centre at the time of 9/11 and the 7/7 London bombings.
and it took the fella who had that responsibility hours to calm down after he had finished.
BBC Breakfast says that the terror alert levels have gone up to SEVERE! A terrorist attack in the Uk is now considered HIGHLY LIKELY!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH!!!
Here's some links I found using Google:

I'm not sure how this affects me, should I be worried about boarding trains? I'm going to be taking a long train journey on Sunday, so I hope it doesn't affect me. It's not critical, so I should be OK, we have tons of trains in this country.
Do you people take this seriously? In other countries that use the special terrorist-o-meter system, do you take it seriously? DO you find yourself becoming more suspicious as a result?
Just like America.It's fashion around world,more power and rights to police is only right way.
Yes... it makes me wonder about the intelligence used to determine the threat level. i.e. is this WMD in Iraq level of intelligence or the real thing?

WMD = Weapons of mass disappearance.
Blair's big day in the dock tomorrow
He should go to the war crimes tribunal along with Bush Cheyney and co.Never gonna happen,they are "heroes" nowadays".
Real hero's are all dead
Heroes are the ones that do what has to be done because no one else has the guts to do it.
I would prefer my heroes to exhaust diplomatic possibilities before wading in without popular support.
They got what they wanted. They dont have to bomb us anymore,, were destroying ourselves for them.QFT.
Atleast you guys dont have the Patriot Act.Yet.
