Britain Drops ‘War on Terror’ Label: “The words ‘war on terror’ will no longer be used by the British government to describe attacks on the public, the country’s chief prosecutor said Dec. 27.
Sir Ken Macdonald said terrorist fanatics were not soldiers fighting a war but simply members of an aimless ‘death cult.’
The Director of Public Prosecutions said: ‘We resist the language of warfare, and I think the government has moved on this. It no longer uses this sort of language.’
London is not a battlefield, he said.” (Military.Com)
As FmH readers will recognize, I have long considered the War on Terror to be a brand name, which I have signified by referring to it as ‘WoT®’. I guess the brand is just not selling in the UK anymore. I predict the US s well will rebrand its antiterrorism efforts aunder the next, Democratic, administration.
