Hmm I remember Black and, I think, Black Special in the late 70s, never Amber, but it was specific so could vary depending upon where you were.
I remember amber in mid 90's...

Aye, must've been amber when they got the mirrors on sticks out to look under every car coming into camp...
Still curious how much is genuine threat and how much is security theatre
It's all a bit hate week at the mo...
If we move from amber to red, someone has to change the lightbulb.
Still curious how much is genuine threat and how much is security theatre
back in the day it was surveying for mortar base plate locations and dodgy packages (smells of almonds, sweating a little etc)
the IRA threat was different to the current Jihadi one and arguably more potent
the problem is that the security services/ police have to be lucky everytime, they have to be lucky only once to have a considerable impact

Not the first thing I would do when the country is at war, but each to their own.
footflaps - MemberDoes anyone actually take any notice or even give a shit?
I don't.
Errr...
When we have Isis acts of terror here it is not going to be bombs.
It's going to be several loonies walking around a shopping center or train station with automatic rifles taking people out or groups kidnapping people and filming them being decapitated.
Bombs are not nearly horrific enough for these people.
Growing up me and my friends spent a lot of time up London and my mum always worried about me being caught up in an IRA bomb, irrational maybe. But considering they blew up an army recruitment center on my local high road and one of my friends (a child) charged (peanuts) the press to take photo from his back garden , maybe it was not so irrational after all.
This is all just sheer speculation on my part, but if you know what these people are capable of and all what stands between them and you is geography, for now. You should be a tinsy bit concerned.

Calm down dear...
Being as they must be being monitored (after all, that is the purpose of GCHQ/NSA/Mi5/Mi6/NATO intelligence right) how are they going to get all these automatic weapons into the country?
If they were hell bent on achieving these things, it would've already happened: despite our troops going and committing who knows how many atrocities during wars started under false pretenses, how many invading hordes have we endured?
Don't forget much of the media is owned by the same people who profit from war...
They do not have enough people to watch everyone , they have already said that.
And if a bunch of two bit ghetto gangbangers can get there hands on automatic weapons.
An international terrorist organisation will have no problem unless the send them by yodell.
In which case they will be stuck on someone's roof somewhere.

Raymond Chandler lives!
I know someone who was murdered over an unpaid £10 drugs debt.
His murderer traveled from one sink estate the his to kill him .
A woman on my estate was shot twice once in the arm and once in the head for coming out and asking two 15 year olds to move away from her flat as she had children sleeping .
I think two bit ghetto gangbangers describes the kind of individual I was looking to define well enough .
So when Dave and his glove puppet 'thrash out' yet another counter terrorism strategy and draconian law in responseover the weekend, I wonder if this is what our children will be taught in school?
Still way more likely to die in a road traffic collision than an act of terrorism. No hysteria over the numbers maimed and killed due to shit driving. Or no uproar for the often lack of justice for the victims.
just a PSA: Although it may be incorrect, "Bikini Black Enhanced" produces by far the best google results.
thanks scaredypants, thats raised my lols levels.
I bet they won't fly in via Glasgow airport.
Someone forgot to bring the sandwiches to a cobra meeting.

The Glasgow Warning Level has been raised to Errapolis.
Political insurance policy in case anything happens. And paves the way for more involvement in the supply of arms and air strikes.
Just politicians keeping us in our places.
You all don't sound terrified enough.
BE MORE TERRIFIED! *

It's not working.
I've just been out, and I'm going out again later.

Whoosh. The sound of the joke going right over your head.
Earlier at No. 10 Downing Street...
