Exactly, just another click bait newspaper website story based on zero facts. Policeman says sports and music events must be vigilante, translated to ISIS planning Glastonbury bloodbath..

[Colonel74]

Bloodbath? Or mud bath? Either isn't going to happen

[Spindles]

Glastonbury falls during the holy month of Ramadan again this year, when traditionally there are far fewer attacks.  Not that it matters, the story is bollocks designed to spread fear and disunity.

[Dave_c]

It did entertain me when I saw it. Won't be on my mind whatsoever.

[SwedgeAntilles]

I believe Summer of Terror are a Download exclusive this year.

everywhere is under threat if you listen to the papers. Scaremongering at its finest! Just enjoy yourself and don't worry about a thing  

[Migraine]

It's the Express they can arrange for the ghost of Diana to protect us.

Good luck getting over the super fence, ISIS.

Be careful they may have a twix.

[pinkmolly226]

Also I read that it's all music festivals and sporting events that are under threat not just Glastonbury. Worry not!

[Spindles]

Yay!

[davidd]

Express, i wouldn't trust the date on the fucking rag.

[bunfight]

security -  "what's those wires sticking out from under your shirt?'

terrorist - 'walkman' 

security - go on then, in you go.

It's not that they're under threat, the police have identified that they 'could' be a target in the same way anywhere with more that 100 people in the same small area could. IMO the fact that it would be quite difficult to gain access into the festival, and the fact that it only happens once a year makes it marginally less likely to be a target as generally any attackers tend to research and visit locations they want to attack while planning.

Horrible paper.

[marathonsteve]

I was just at Common People and the Security searching the bags of customers coming in was rigorous even to the extent of frisking  people I assume on a random basis !

Hello I'm Mr ISIS. First I had to register my photograph. Then I had to go through that Sunday morning in October when I managed to get through to the booking page one minute before they sold out! So relieved I managed to get my ticket! Then I paid my balance in April and now I am planning my attack. Bomb in the sleeping bag probably.

It's a legitimate thread but seriously, which terrorist would put themselves through it? And if the remote possibly came true, tell my mama to leave my small pieces at Strummervile.

Yeah you're right. Anywhere could be a target. The papers are the worst for spreading fear!

Haha oh my god I just had an image of them all sitting on their laptops, trying to get tickets + refreshing the page over and over and over and over and over...............

Thankfully I can not see anyone attempting to smuggle plastic explosives in, disguised as inflatable flamingos.

The most likely scenario would be an attack on people queueing to get in on Wednesday morning I would think.
