If this is Britain's idea of the terrorist threat, then British counter-terrorism has lost all connection to reality.

The geriatric slow walk to anarchy and revolution in downtown London ?

I took the hit of going to X.

While I agree that this one man is not a threat, the whole context of this action is missing unless you read the fine print and go to the source - everyoneday.uk.

Locking - please note:

Please use discretion when referencing obviously biased or factually questionable material. Vanity websites are generally not as credible as the New York Times, the Washington Post or the UK Guardian and are likely to be locked. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself is the author readily identifiable and likely to be cited by the mainline world press or encountered in an alternate format (mass-published book, academic journal, newspaper article, radio or TV show).
