Why has this story been given so much prominence ?
It is an
Alleged Plot to kidnap and behead a british muslim soldier.

I can understand it might or might not have been a real threat, but what purpose does it serve to plaster an alleged plot across every news outlet constantly over several days.
Am I being cynical to think it is a method of keeping us on our toes about the olive skinned man who runs the corner shop ?
If the ongoing investigation is so important, why put so much fear and ill feeling out into the public ? For an alleged plot.....
I dont know.....but I would suspect the news has hieghtened tensions in particular areas for no good.
