Terror plot to Assassinate Theresa May Foiled

A terror plot to assassinate Prime Minister Theresa May has been foiled, Sky sources have confirmed.

Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said: "It's the latest in a number of terror plots that police and MI5 believe they've foiled this year.

"I understand that the head of MI5, Andrew Parker, briefed Cabinet ministers today, such is the seriousness of what they believed they have uncovered.

"It is in essence an extreme Islamist suicide plot against Downing Street. Essentially police believe that the plan was to launch some sort of improvised explosive device at Downing Street and in the ensuing chaos attack and kill Theresa May, the Prime Minister.

Well, despite all the speculation of Theresa's downfall, she's still PM. Maybe there's a tad too much speculation!

if she was killed they would just pick another drone off the shelf ,in all honesty i would imagine half the population would like to strangle her over the brexit debacle

. . . and anyone with enough backbone to make strong leadership decisions will be immediately vilified by the media and their fellow politicians as an arrogant bully - political suicide right there :redcard:

Indeed. Seems pretty pointless trying to kill a woman who is dead on her feet anyway.

I don't think the attempt was a comment on her political strength/weakness...

It's difficult to find something with any truth, you've got the media reporting Political WW3 and on the other hand you've got the bob marley of politicians singing "Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right"

Aside from that you really think the plan would have actually worked?. not even sure how strong them gates are.

Lock them up for whole life, or deport them regardless of the threat they may face.

I'm more concerned how stupid these terrorists are I would have thought taking out the labour party would have been a better choice? they would have been let off by the labour policy of "Peace not War"

I can just hear Corbyn's last word as his various body parts are distributed over the neigbourhood: "Pardon?" :D
