"UK terror threat level rated severe Alan Johnson said the threat to the UK from international terrorism has been raised from substantial to severe The threat to the UK from international terrorism has been raised from substantial to severe - meaning an attack is "highly likely". Announcing the move, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said although the threat had increased there was no intelligence to suggest an attack was imminent. But he urged people to be vigilant. He added that it was not specifically linked to the Christmas Day plane bomb plot or any other incident, although it comes ahead of a major counter-terrorism conference in London next week. Mr Johnson said: "The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) has... raised the threat to the UK from international terrorism from substantial to severe. This means that a terrorist attack is highly likely, but I should stress that there is no intelligence to suggest that an attack is imminent. "JTAC keeps the threat level under constant review and makes its judgments based on a broad range of factors, including the intent and capabilities of international terrorist groups in the UK and overseas." He added: "The highest security alert is critical and that means an attack is imminent, and we are not at that level." The minister said more measures had been taken to protect aviation since the alleged failed bomb attack on a plane at Detroit at Christmas. "We have a very adept and very focused counter-terrorism facility in this country and people should be reassured by that." The Christmas Day bomb plot has moved the focus of the fight against terror onto the Yemen, where suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has reportedly claimed he was supplied with explosives. The Home Office said that the change in threat level would not cause "any discernable difference" for members of the public taking flights or going about their normal business. Rather than triggering additional security checks at airports or putting more police onto the streets, the new assessment will send a signal to police and security officials to step up their activities behind the scenes." thoughts people?

lets hope WBA progress and lose sight of the main goal of this season which is promotion. i'd take that (promotion) anyday over getting to the later stages of the FAC and being raped by a mid table prem table team. sometimes realism is a bitch!

free kick. top corner. 89mins. doesnt celebrate.

source??

strangely enough i'm in the process right now. agree with MonkeysFist tho. it'll have to come off in the summer

Bruce doesn't rate Ferdinand though. i dont think many people do.

I'm confused. if it was obvious from the off what my view was then why did i have to say it?

Hindu/Sikh integration as against Muslim integration in say Birmingham (where I lived for a spell) is a case in point. These would be the same Sikhs that cause a street riot outside a Birmingham theater because it was playing something they didn't like? Cracking example of harmonious integration that. Isolated incident tbf. The Sikhs have a long and harmounious record in the area apart from the fact that to a man they support Villa. I agree that muslims have specific problems regarding integration. But also it is true that it can occur with any faith group. Which is one reason why I am such a staunch defender of secularism and believe France are right to make a stand against extreme religions that result in the wearing of the burqa. I think in the final analysis France is correct. I agree Despite you starting the thread it's took 31 pages and someone else to say it 1st for you to voice your opinion tbf alex, a lot of pages were taken up with direct attacks at LM and his defence. also, i think it pretty much showed my opinion that not only did i post the op i then added the follow on when it was lagging a bit. just cos i didnt say it 1st doesnt make me a loser here. (btw, i agree with LM about life experience. much better to have something thats been proven workable than a theory from a book)

ukip's a daft party with one policy. i know, i was a member of it (very briefly).

I have to say, its nice to see a nufc manager actually thinking about his signings carefully instead of just splurging cash left right and centre, al la Guillit, Souness et all. I reckon this lad will be canny. I've only heard bits and bobs about him but its all good.

So this isnt your band then http://www.myspace.com/agentfive na mate, we dont live in spain.

I would like to announce the formation of a new Rock N' Roll band by the name of “AGENT.V”. Doing classic Punk, Rock and Metal tunes, they are currently searching for like minded individuals to join the band (sense of humour essential), and will be busy rehearsing as soon as possible. Coming to a Pub/Club near you very soon! as the blurb says we're looking for members. Based in and around Newcastle we require a drummer, 2nd/lead guitarist and a vocalist. We'll be doing stuff from Sex Pistols, Wasp, Def Leppard, Scorps, Anthrax, Therapy?, Priest and many more. Own gear and transport essential. age group?......... anything really as long as you can walk the walk. PM me here. Thanks!

The above is nothing to do with the masses. It's just the top 3% protecting what THEY have and looking for ways to get more of it. The masses are basically not in the game. THIS is CAPITALISM dear boy. Obviously, old fruit. What is interesting is how easlily the masses are manipulated against their own interests - they revolt at paying for healthcare but think the above is somehow acceptable. whats the unemployment level like in the states? a lot of americans would baulk at the idea of paying for someone elses healthcare. just selfish i guess........... (or looking out for no.1, depending upon your pov.)

having a medical as i type this. should sign before the end of the day SSN edit: whoops, just noticed the earlier posts. my bad

Fuckin hell, the cheese eating surrender monkeys are still at it.......... "Ban women wearing the burka from benefits and public transport, demands French government spokesman Women who wear the burka in France should be banned from using public transport or receiving state handouts, a government official says. UMP party spokesman Frederic Lefebvre demanded that any woman breaking a proposed law making the garment illegal should be 'deprived of her rights'. His comments came the day after the head of president Nicolas Sarkozy's party said Muslim women wearing full-face veils should not be granted French nationality. A woman wears a burqa as she walks up the stairs outside the municipal library in Roncin northern France Mr Lefebvre said: 'When you don't respect your responsibilities you should not have access to any benefits. 'The rights and responsibilities of citizens in France are important. 'When you ignore rules that make things illegal, like a ban on the burka, you have some of your rights taken away, like the right to state benefits or using public transport.' UMP party chief Xavier Bertrand said on Sunday that women who wear burkas or niqabs should not be allowed to acquire French citizenship. Nicolas Sarkozy He said: 'The full veil is simply a prison for women who wear it and will make no one believe a woman wearing it wants to integrate.' President Sarkozy has called Islamic face veils 'a sign of debasement that imprison women' and said they are not welcome in France. As the national debate raged on Islamic headwear, Sarkozy said last week he wants MPs to vote on a total ban on all full face veils in France. The burka is a full-body covering worn largely in Afghanistan with a mesh screen over the face, and the niqab is a full-body veil with slits for the eyes. A parliamentary inquiry into the garments is due to be published on January 26. Another prominent UMP member Jean-Francois Cope also proposed in December that women should be fined more than £700 for wearing the burka and the niqab in public. And any man forcing a woman to cover her face burka should be fined even more, with those who refuse to pay up facing arrest and prison, Mr Cope said. The country's immigration minister Eric Besson described them as 'an affront to national identity'. Women's rights groups and left wing MPs have gone even further, describing the item as a 'walking coffin'. But many left-wing politicians have cautioned that a draconian law banning the burka could inflame tensions in the Muslim community, that it would be difficult to enforce and could face a challenge in the European Court of Human Rights. According to the Interior Ministry, about 2,000 women in France wear full Muslim dress in public. France - home to Europe's largest Muslim population with five million resident - already passed a law in 2004 forbidding students and staff from wearing veils and other religious symbols in schools as part of a drive to defend secularism. In September a French mother was banned from wearing a 'burkini' swimsuit at her local swimming pool. Carole, a 35-year-old Muslim convert, was told by the manager of pool in Emerainville, near Paris, that the garment was 'inappropriate' on hygiene grounds. The woman said she bought her burkini for £40 during a holiday in Dubai, adding: 'I was told that it would allow me the pleasure of bathing without showing off my body, which is what Islam recommends.' She is now taking her local council to court on the grounds that the ban was not a hygiene issue but a political issue. In July, Al Qaeda terrorists vowed revenge on France if it banned the burka on its streets. Leaders of Al Qaeda's North African network wrote on an Islamic extremist website: 'French Muslims should react to this ban with the utmost hostility. 'We will seek dreadful revenge on France by all means at our disposal, for the honour of our daughters and sisters."
