“The threat level to the U.K. is at severe, which means that an attack is highly likely, and it has been there since January 2010,” a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.

“We never discuss security. We never say its been stepped up or stepped down — so I really don’t know where this has come from”

Probably put out to divert attention from the sentencing of a Labour MP for expenses fraud on what is otherwise shaping up to be a rather slow news day.
