Every now and then, when the authorities fear that we may be becoming complacent, they try to rattle us again about the terrorist threat. That is what they are doing at the moment, both here and in the US; but, as usual, they offer little or no evidence to support their alarmist prophesies.
You'd think there might be better times to make this claim, given the recent failed attacks in central London and Glasgow, and the conviction earlier this week of four men charged with planning to bomb the Tube, but hey, this is the Guardian.
