There is actually a color code that I think goes from green to black.

Breaking news: The UK government has raised the threat level from Northern Ireland terrorists from Moderate to Substantial, meaning a terrorist attack on the UK from the IRA (or individuals continuing that ideology) is highly likely.
You mean you guys don't have a terror threat color bar to scare everyone with?
Just moderate to subsatantially threatening…
Amateurs.
You gotta go sirens and blinking lights to get people really 'threatened', lol.
Yeah, how dare they warn the public and how dare they give us any indication at all so that we might be more aware of our surroundings and our environment!
Damn fascists coming up with their evil ways to warn us all of potential threats!

Thanks for that. Black being the equivalent of red here in the states, the most threatening level?
That's fairly much in line with Defcon levels so if it was official or more as an unofficial indicator to employees and visitors I couldn't say.

So a Muslim was made mayor of London,.................
And now.............this.
Sounds to me like the Gov't elites are doing this to take heat and observance off the Muslims.
Might want to be careful..........they might even stage a false flag operation killing a few innocents and blaming it on the IRA.

The terror pre warning gauge is to scare the populace, nothing more. Got to keep the fear alive. Those minions that propagate it for the state are the problem.
Actually increasing the terror threat level unlocks access to increased overtime spending and other budgetary issues. It functions as way of managing spending and staffing allocations within the civil service. Increase the threat level and you have more money and resources available.
The warning to the public is a side-effect of what is in essence a management control of governmental expenditure.
