How Britain celebrates Christmas in 2017: Armed guards, concrete barriers and metal detectors spring up around festive markets due to terror attack fears

Armed police walk among shoppers in Edinburgh Christmas market as Britain's terror alert remains at 'severe' going into the festive period

Britain's Christmas markets  will surrounded by a ring of a steel with armed police on patrol and metal detectors at entrances as security is raised over new terror fears.

There will be concrete barriers, stop and search checks and officers on the ground at the popular festive events in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and Bath in the run up to Christmas.

The precautions are being taken after the Local Government Association warned councils to be vigilant this year with the terror threat level to the UK currently at 'severe' - meaning an incident is 'highly likely'.

Britain has suffered from the three horrific attacks this year with innocent people and children killed in London and Manchester.

But while security is being ramped up in light of the atrocities in Westminster in March, the Manchester Arena in May and London Bridge in June, the authorities are also concerned about a potential copy-cat attack. 

Last Year 12 were murdered when an ISIS fanatic ploughed a lorry through Berlin's Breitscheidplatz Christmas market.

  1. looks to me like the guy in front is continuously muzzle sweeping the people walking by him ... even if his finger isn't on the trigger ...

    And yeah, most of Europe and the UK are pretty f'ed when it comes to their "Muslim problem"

      & I bet there are many who don't admit it being so PC these days.

    2. "Most" of Americans seem to be fed up with the "illegal Alien" criminal problem as well, but like the Europeans the desires of the "most" are ignored and even demonised by the naïve liberal elite.

    3. Evidently. All that matters is that they retain power.

  2. Not just the UK. Australia too (and I've seen other examples as well).

    IMHO Europe's going to explode within five years. And if I were in Europe, I'd be buying every weapon on the black market that I could, and vetting friends for extrajudicial action against the invaders.

  4. Roy, I was stationed in Bamberg and in Nuremberg same time. Loved the place and the people. Still do. Bamberg is still "home" to me. When I think of what those damn evil Muslims and Commies have done to destroy and defile my adopted home land: Kill them all every last damn one of them, and let God sort them out.
