    I was reading that the terror threat in the UK was raised to critical which is supposed to mean another attack may be immanent. ive never heard of this scale outside of the US. The last time i remeber something like this being used it was the Bush era. How serious do you take those scales in the UK? Will you actually change habbits around this? Or, do you just use this warning as a way to keep the general public's eye open.
