The UK terror threat level rose from 'substantial' to 'severe' after a terror attack occurred in Golders Green on Wednesday. The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre raised the level on Thursday, signaling that a UK terror attack is highly likely within the next six months.
Terrorism expert Roger Macmillan, speaking to GB News, declared that Britons are 'fed up' with the Government not taking action to protect the country's Jewish community.
He noted an increased threat to the Persian, British and Jewish communities since 2022. Macmillan cited data showing 3,700 antisemitic attacks in the UK last year. He questioned why Sir Mark Rowley and his police force have to wait so long to get the money, resources and support they need.
Keir Starmer promised to bring forward legislation into the new parliament sometime in July, according to Macmillan. The expert highlighted that the United Arab Emirates is preventing its students from attending universities in the UK due to the fear of radicalisation.
