The emergency has reached Birmingham, the second most populous conurbation of england, the most complex motorised transport interchange of the island of britain.

Birmingham and surrounding urban areas have a population of many millions and routinely sees many languages spoken both on the street and on the telephone. Visitors think its ugly. The natives and newly arrived "brummies" (as migrants are termed) are particularly proud of the place and think it ought be seen as second only to manchester and newcastle for a good right down chap and gal party place. read full story / add a comment

If the brit government really believed and took al-ciaeda threats seriously.

Knowing the fact that they were dealing with rich ruthless disassociated cold blooded killers (trained by our own ruthless dissociated psychopaths at CIA black ops in Afghanistan in the 1980's, programmed and trained to kill and maim Russian soldiers mercilessly).

Suspend sittings of Parliament
Destroy or requisition private property
Ban public assemblies
Limit freedom of movement
