"Four other men are already in custody in connection with the death threats."

idiots, don't tell people what you're going to do. It's like the evil villains in james bond telling bond their plan

I dare bet for as long as there have been PM's that there have been such plots, just that they dont always get publicised.

The plottee would be the PM, you already give to him and the plotters will be getting spending money for a while anyway so hang onto your money

They'll get 10 years for threatening to do it - and deserve 20 years for not carrying it out!!!

So there are just less than 60 million suspects left for the Police to interview....

That was the first thing that went through my head and that it was probably only released as a publicity stunt..

I.e. oh look our pm must be great hes willing to risk being shot!!!!!!

The real problem is, if dear Gordy did get shot we might end up with Milliband instead. Actually any of the alternatives are probably enough to make you put the bullets back in the box. Almost certainly the same reason the Bush is still alive, could you imagine President Cheney?
