According to the U.K. government, it means an attack is "highly likely." According to Sky News, May said the threat level was raised in general because of the deteriorating situation in Iraq and Syria, where extremist militants from the group calling itself the Islamic State (also ISIS or ISIL). May said, however, that there was no specific threat to Britain that caused the raise in the terror level. |

| #2 Nothing specific, we just decided to hike it a bit for the upcoming month of September. In the PM's lengthy supporting speech today he insisted that "a "differentiation is essential, between the religion of Islam and Islamic radicals" [paraphrasing a bit]. He remains uninformed regarding Islam, therefore fok'n clueless. His only redeeming quality appears to be his lack of conversion to the faith. |
