British Troops Deployed In London
As Prime Minister Theresa May promised, troops have been deployed to guard “key locations,” including the Palace of Westminster, several embassies and “other sensitive sites,” in London and other British cities, the Evening Standard reported.
The mass deployment follows Monday’s attack at Manchester Arena, which killed 22 kids attending an Ariana Grande concert, as well as the 23-year old attacker. It was the worst terror attack in the U.K. since 2005.
The Financial Times reports reports that nearly 4,000 military personnel have been deployed across Britain to help police with counter-terror efforts after May raised the threat level to “critical” on Tuesday as authorities scramble to apprehend any accomplices that may have aided Salman Abedi, the chief suspect in the bombing who was known to police prior to Monday's attack.
“There are fears an Islamist bombmaker may be on the loose because of the sophistication of the device used in the Manchester attack on Monday,” the Evening Standard noted.
The FT also noted that the attack occurred at a time when police chiefs across Britain have warned about difficulties recruiting the extra 1,500 police the U.K. government promised following the attacks in Paris and Brussels.
Counter-Terrorism forces have arrested Hashem Abedi, the younger brother of the Manchester attacker, in Tripoli, according to media reports.
Parliament has been closed to the public, the changing of the guard at Westminster has been cancelled and the Old Bailey’s public galleries were also shut, the Evening Standard reports.
Soldiers are likely to be on duty at this weekend’s FA Cup Final at Wembley. And Chelsea have cancelled Sunday’s victory parade to celebrate their premier league win, ESPN reported.
Here's a few photos showing troops arriving outside the Palace of Westminster, Scotland Yard and 10 Downing Street:
At least the Filipino President has the balls to call it what it is...Martial Law.
While the new French President Macron uses this as an excuse to continue the National State of Emergency, while he calls such an act "saving democracy" (while he uses martial law to destroy it).
The world burns, just look at my post about Brazil today!

The event in manchester is a false flag, likely completely fake and staged. Look into it. It's the easiest to debunk in a while. You are being played. This is all what they want, police state.
The army have taken over the streets, but it's because we are united, you understand? Nothing to see here.
