Lol. Jog on boys. Ye head down to your bunkers. I'll hang back and tell ye when the coast is clear. No peeking now.

What's your issue exactly? I'll take the word of the police over some bizarre conspiracy theory. Whether the info they have is correct or not I doubt they're making it up for "the craic" as you put it earlier

I bet you'd have head out on the lash in Paris as soon as you heard **** was going down.

You're a full time mad bastard like that.

I bet if there was a warning on your street you'd be keeping your head down and eyes on the telly.

SKY news notice dip in viewers on NYE and hype everything. Twice this year my OH got her sky app telling her off terrorist activity. One was a plane diverted due to an issue with a pregnant passenger and the other was a safety precaution for a mechanical warning. All info from the plane and airport was clear about this but somehow SKY made them into terrorist stories.

Not saying they are wrong just that more reliable sources are needed than SKY news.

Sky is the UK version of Fox news they love a good war the cnuts.

If that's the german police I would hate to have a run in with the army

Sky should leave it off air unless something happens, talk about killing the buzz, no need for it unless something happens.

In fairness he is right, well on the going on about your business part.

Old timers like me and Harry were about in times bomb threats, hoaxes, shootings and murders was everyday news and just part of life.

Easy for us to forget a whole generation grew up without them.

Make sense Sunny. The whole of Europe is in "imminent" danger of being attacked. Imminently. Yes. Honest. I also have some beans you can buy - they're magic and grow into a huge beanstalk.

I would link to Facebook but I don't use it, I would usually take Sky news with a very large pinch of salt but as the sky source is the German police I would say some concern is warranted.

This isn't a "bomb threat" though in any traditional sense. No warning or threat has been relayed to the media or police.

They don't close major rail stations for the lolz. Some of the replies here tonight trying to second guess the responsible authorities are idiotically dismissive. I'll be charitable and put them down to people being on the lash all day.

Oh I agree. I just thought it was a funny juxtaposition.

It sounds more like credible intelligence came in at the last moment and without enough time to find out exactly where it was, they put out the warning rather than risk something happening. I highly doubt the police would cause utter chaos in Munich on New Year's Eve for the lol. It'll cost them millions.

But when whatsapp went down earlier I was thinking that it may be shut down to terrorist attack. It was only effecting europe. Sure even ISIS used twitter before to communicate and phone networks can easily be monitored.

Alot of talk during the week about an attack on europe. Lets hope I am being a crazy nut :pac:

Bbc was also taken down. CNN and gawker just gone off line.

Connection to events likely thin. I would certainly pay attention to German police.

They aren't gentlemanly like that all right, so how do you warn the public if you've intelligence to suggest an attack?

99/100 probably will be hoaxes or them being too cautious, but the authorities can't take the risk.

If it is a 1% chance, human nature, we'll just assume it is another fire alarm.

Sadly, allowing tons of people who have no connection with, or respect for, your culture in because your economy needs the cheap labour is destined to end in tears.

Allowing 1 million foreigners into your country in a single year, as Germany has done this year alone, is a recipe for inspiring resentment from poor Germans who will be undercut by the new arrivals. Easy for rich, educated Germans to be "liberal" when their positions will not be under threat.

Free market fundamentalism - Thatcher's 'No such thing as society" - is the biggest threat to all Western societies. Our societies are now first and foremost economies. Ranting about the dead horse of religion is a nice deflection from the new fundamentalism. Perhaps in 40 years people will regret they didn't oppose this in our day, just as many Irish Catholics now regret they didn't make a stand against the RCC 40 years ago. Alas.

Really? They'd have been dismissed as Nazi b4stards last year. Now we have to listen to them and be all serious? I hate 2016 already.

And they would be taken out pretty fast. They was no greater terror than the Washington snipers. Hit and vanish tactics had a whole state in a state of terror. One could not get gas without ducking and diving under car while one filled. Can you imagine terrorist snipers, no greater terror than the unknowing.

No, history demands we conclude this is a fire alarm. How often are terrorists actually caught in the act? Basically never.

Of course they are. Thankfully the people who take decisions like those taken in Munich tonight aren't those sort to dismiss threats lightly and endanger lives through negligence. The keyboard police commanders here with no knowledge of or access to the information available in Munich dismiss the action taken on the basis of... The basis of what? "I know better".

Took a while for the "this is what happens... muslims" crowd to arrive. Sure look what happened to Britain when they let the Irish have free travel to Ireland.

@Dan, I see your point, but if they have intelligence they have to warn people. Sometimes you are damned if you do...

Give people the information and let them decide, free will and all that.
