Anti-Terrorism

" Prepare for an attack..! People will think I'm Paranoid "
 "Al Qaida cells and supporters of affiliated groups are known to be active in the UK." Say the Home Office. There are approximately 4000 trained terrorists in the UK, and more supposed UK citizens going through the terrorist training camps every day....  Are you still worried what people think ? 

" But Muslims and alike have always been in the UK "

No they have not always been here, and if they were it was only a very light sprinkling, look at any old video footage or old photographs from the 40s or before to prove it, Its not that long ago. I went to London, a few weeks ago, and was amassed to see it was spot the white man in the large proportion of places. There were even parts you dare not go if you were White. How's that for being multi culturally richer Prime Minister.

Would the Prime Minister let a murderer into his home with fresh blood on his hands ?

"NO"

"So why has he let them into our country ?" 

Preparation for an attack

As you can see below it doesn't cost much to protect your self or your loved ones, or put another way,     is your or your Childs life worth £41.00 ?

Home Office advises householders to lay in stores

 

  Every home in Britain should keep on hand a few cans of beans, some bottled water and some blankets for use in the event of a major terrorist attack, under new Home Office guidance issued yesterday.

The emergency civil defence planners also believe everyone should have a supply of batteries, a battery-powered or wind-up radio, and a battery-powered torch alongside a supply of ready-to-eat food to help them through any emergency which cut off access to power, water, and telephones.

The Home Office was keen to stress yesterday that there was no specific intelligence which led them to believe that terrorists are planning a nuclear, chemical, biological or other kind of attack in Britain.

But the advice posted on the Home Office website says: "It is sensible to be prepared for an emergency in the home and to make plans for any major disruption, including severe weather and floods."

 

Tips for surviving a terrorist attack

There is no magic formula that guarantees protection from acts of terrorism, especially if they involve radiation, toxic chemicals or germ warfare. But there are steps anyone can take to reduce the risks. After the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, National Journal compiled the following basic guide based on extensive interviews with experts.

In general...

  • Do what you're told. If there's an announcement over TV or radio, or if a fire-fighter, police officer, or other official tells you to do something, just do it. A crisis is no time to second-guess the one group of people with the expertise and equipment to know what's actually going on. Their specific instructions should take precedence over general guides such as this one.

If you're warned of an explosion...

  • Duck and cover. Get away from windows and behind something solid. Then curl up to protect your face and eyes.

If you're outside and you hear an explosion, or if you see people choking or collapsing...

  • Cover your nose and mouth. The big danger with most toxic substances is inhaling them. Even thin fabrics - a handkerchief, scarf, or shirt - will reduce your chance of inhaling radioactive particles, many chemical and biological agents, and the choking dust that ordinary bombs produce.
  • Move away at an angle. If you're downwind of the attack, something dangerous may be drifting toward you. Since you can't outrun the wind, the way to get out of its path is to go sideways to the direction that it's blowing. Going around a corner will also put a building between you and the source of danger.
  • Get inside. Find an intact, sturdy building and go in it. Modern buildings are fairly airtight and will keep out most toxic substances for some time.
  • Strip and shower. If you actually were exposed to something toxic, most of it will have settled on your outer layer of clothing. Carefully take your outer garments off (ideally, shower with your clothes on first so they're safer to handle) and put them where no one will touch them (ideally, sealed in a plastic bag). Then shower or have someone hose you down, thoroughly but gently, to get the residue off your skin. EXCEPTION: A few toxic chemicals react dangerously with water; if anything strange happens, stop showering immediately.

If you're inside and the problem is outside...

  • Close up. Closing doors and windows - and turning off air conditioners - will make most modern buildings reasonably airtight. That will keep most toxic substances from drifting in. If the windows are broken (say, by an explosion) or your part of the building is otherwise leaky, find an intact room to shelter in.
  • Move away from windows. Just in case there's a second explosion, or a release of highly penetrating (gamma) radiation, you want to be behind a nice, solid wall.
  • Stay put and watch TV. Keep an eye out for official announcements over television and radio. Unless there is something obviously wrong with the building you're in (e.g., it's right next to where a toxic cloud is being released, or the windows are all blown out, or it's burning down), it's probably safer to stay put than to go outside. Wait for someone in authority to tell you when, how, and where to evacuate.

If you're inside and the problem is inside...

  • Get out. Because modern buildings are fairly airtight, a dangerous substance released inside one will stay dangerously concentrated. If people inside your building (or subway station) are choking and collapsing, or if the building is on fire, it's time to leave and head for another, safer shelter.
