I am getting more information from the newspapers of the Midlands about these arrests because one of the men lives in Leicester than I am newspapers local to East London and Essex where the rest of the plotters live. The Barking and Dagenham Post hasn’t even mentioned the little matter of the Islamic nature of the plot. From the Express and Star
Counter-terrorism police have been granted more time to quiz three men and a 17-year-old boy arrested over a suspected Islamist terror plot.
Police said no shots were fired during the two armed raids in the capital, but the 27-year-old man was bitten on the foot by a police dog. He was taken to hospital, where he remains being treated for his injuries, the force added. All four suspects were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The other three men are being held in police custody, while officers search a number of addresses.
Scotland Yard said on Friday that it had been granted warrants of further detention for the four men allowing them to be held next week. Officers were still searching four addresses in east and south London, it added. The Met said that a search at an address in Leicestershire was now complete, but another at a second address in the area was ongoing.
Sources told the PA news agency the raids were part of an intelligence-led operation over a suspected Islamist plot. BBC News home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford said sources indicated the arrests were part of a potentially “significant” counter-terrorism operation and related to a suspected plot in the UK.

A bit off topic but my view of my United Kingdom today:-
Today the world is upside down
Where black is white and blue is brown
Where if you dare to air your thoughts
You’ll be escorted through the courts
And if you challenge your offence
They’ll tell you truth is no defence
The only way out of this mess
Is for you to acquiesce
You have to tell them you agree
You don’t believe the things you see
You gain release but with a warning
Do not oppose the new world dawning
The future will be ours they say
The old world brought so much dismay
Our history must be cast aside
Along with it our national pride
Guilt is placed upon your head
For actions of those long since dead
Your homeland is no longer yours
For we have opened wide the doors
To all and sundry old and young
You’ll have to learn to live among
New people who don’t share your tongue
Our children then they sore abuse
But you’ll not hear it on the news
You see behaviour at its basest
But protest and you are labelled racist
Our soldiers forty years before
Performed their best to end the war
Of terror knocking on our door
They braved the hardships of the time
But now they face a charge of crime
For doing what their masters tasked
Yet clemency for the ones once masked
The murderers excused and freed
And good men charged to fill the need
Of lawyers never ending greed
Do not refer to a man as he
He may prefer to be a she
And women too can change their sex
The genders now are so complex
At one time there was only two
Well nowadays there’s quite a few
But oddly they have never found
Ancient bodies from the ground
That showed anything other than
This was a woman or this was a man
Black lives matter, of course they do
But not those of a different hue
Say white lives matter and you’ll face
That ultimate in man’s disgrace
Banishment from your own workplace
Mankind, it seems has lost all reason
Society today has no adhesion
The people and their views are scattered
We have forgotten all that mattered
Could someone please tell me when
The world will turn upright again?
