The recent decision by the USA to withdraw its’ bombers from RAF Fairford serves as something of a reminder that the terror threat to the UK is still rated as “severe”.

The circumstances surrounding this incident are shrouded in mystery and liable to cause much speculation. However, we cannot know at this stage all that went on or what exactly prompted the decision of the USA to act so quickly, apparently in response to what happened.

There are a number of foreign powers that mean to harm us and we must all be alert to the various threats, whether it be cyber crime, a physical attack or whipping up division in order to disrupt our democratic society.

Gratitude to all those people who work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to help keep us all safe.

As with this latest incident, the public can definitely help by immediately reporting anything they see or hear that appears suspicious.
