Last week Sir Ian Blair, the head of the Metropolitan Police, described 'the threat of another terrorist attempt' as 'ever present' adding that 'Christmas is a period when that might happen'.
'It is a far graver threat in terms of civilians than either the Cold War or the Second World War,' he said. 'It's a much graver threat than that posed by Irish Republican terrorism.'
Ian Blair is an utter twit.
Worse than the IRA yes; but does he not know what death and damage was done to UK civilians in WW2? Or realise that the THREAT in the Cold War was mass annihilation?
I would prefer (just) to keep the other Blair and see this one go.
