The people of Britain should remain vigilant towards the threat of terrorism throughout the winter months and festive season, the UK’s Ministry of Defence police force warned on Monday.

“With the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our lives, it is understandable that the threat from terrorism isn’t necessarily front of mind for everyone across the country. But the threat of terrorism has not gone away,” the Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) said in a statement.
