Well, Brighton has been identified by anti terrorist agencies as a highly likely target. Well, until it was uncovered that it is on an intercepted list as a proposed target by IS, then it was escalated to a definite target risk.
Do you not watch the news?
I think there were a bit more than normal. I was up in Town on Thursday lunchtime and areas were closed off, police and transport police on every corner and all along Embankment. I think a security threat has heightened this last few days. Brighton is also a known target for ISIS.
