Weekly news

On Monday 19th march more then 400 school institutions across the U.K. Revived thread via email about alleged bombs in the schools that would be used if they did not follow the orders which mainly requested money. Many of the schools were evacuated as a safety precaution and parents were asked to collect the children while the situation was reviewed. The emails were traced back to a US email and were reportedly a hoax, however, this is a worrying threat that has to be taken seriously.



The threat of terrorism over recent years has been at an all-time high which a huge risk. In 2017 the U.K. Had to deal with a huge four attracts related to terrorism which is incredibly high and shows the seriousness of the issue. In 2017 we saw a large number of deaths from terrorism the highest since the attacks in 2005. In 2017 the U.K. Had the highest recorded deaths due to terrorism in the whole of Europe.

Although it was found to be a hoax situation like this are very worrying and terrifying to many people especially after all the recent shooting in schools in America, we have to take these situations seriously and investigate every situation. This was a very worrying situation as the UK has been on a severe warning and a terrorist attack is predicted as very likely since 20114, therefore, any threats have to be treated in a quick and sever manor.

The article I am referring to was published in the daily express which is a tabloid newspaper now to have quite right-wing views and have a favour toward the conservatives which may lead to bias opinions in there writing. This article does discuss the quick and great work taken by the investigation team to deal with the situation which could be seen as bias as they may not want to offend and institutions.

I feel this is very worrying although it was a hoax it is sad that we are so used to these kinds of the incident and the recent school shootings in America make it very believable that something like this could happen and that this may have been a real issue and threat. The world we live in is very sad where sick attacks are becoming increasingly common and expected. It is shocking that one of the saddest institutions we may feel we have such as school which is a safe environment is suffering from these and may now be seen as not so safe and not so nice to be there.
