The policies of the Home Office and its Secretary of State (Charles
Clarke MP) are opposed to the work done by the Department of Health and
its SoS (John Reid MP).
The result will be a current and continuing increased rate and earlier

the population of the UK that we are under imminent threat of similar or
worse attacks.
The population BP can be assumed to have risen as a result of this, to
the extent which it has been successful.
The figures suggested by the USA researchers, based on well-known
linkage of serious adverse outcomes to the level of BP, and the
population-wide nature of these risks, may indicate that the Home Office
is killing and injuring more of us than the putative terrorists.
