“British public to be given knife, bomb and shooting first aid training for terror attacks”
This is just a form of psy-op. It is pointless except to scare people and hype them up.
There is virtually no terror in Britain.
You must look at the numbers out of a population of around 60 million and compare them to all the other ways of death, from the slaughter on the roads to medical malpractice to get some perspective.
When you are talking about "terror" in the West, you are literally talking about something as threatening as the total annual number of fatal falls in bathtubs.
What a frivolous waste of time and money in terms of genuine need.
But a government like Theresa May's - one with no sense of proper values and a confused leadership and complete servility to the blood-shedding American imperial efforts underway everywhere – is always ready to lend a helping hand with tales of witches and psychological operations like this.

“The Yanks” are not acting so much as "world policeman" as they are acting as self-appointed re-shapers of world civilization.
And they don't like being seen alone doing it, so they always like some compliant tag-alongs such as Britain and France. Leaders of the quality of May or Macron are only too keen to help.
