Russia on mission to cause mayhem on UK streets, warns MI5 | BBC News
Russia’s intelligence agency has been on a mission to generate “mayhem on British and European streets”, the head of MI5 has said, as he warned the UK faces the most “complex and interconnected” threat it has ever seen.
There has also been 20 Iran-backed plots since 2022, the director general Ken McCallum said.
He said the complex mix of terror-related threats and threats from nation states meant that MI5 had “one hell of a job on its hands”.
A total of 43 late-stage attack plots on the UK have been foiled since 2017, he said, with some plotters trying to “get hold of firearms and explosives”.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don't the Brits piss on themselves drinking on streets.. Why would they even need Russia for the mayhem 🤡🤡🤡
Russia isnt the threat our own politicians are the ones who are a threat.. freezing elderly winter payments but have billions to send ukraine for war
Every corrupt act done by OUR OWN government is always russia apparently .
Maybe invest in people and not in war with our taxes
Gotta blame someone, I guess. Personally, Id look closer to home …

Organised criminals are already in control, they started by stealing the pensioners winter fuel allowance.
Isis does export terror, it's the UK itself, that is actively importing it.
Fuck Russian intelligence
I think the guy on the right is saying he’s hungry.
don't take bot comments here
Its gunna happen.
He warned them 2 years ago and now a year i to Israel war and we and usa giving weapons.
We asking for it
Putin is a true leader.
How leader a absolute disgrace
Uk already opened up the floodgates with open borders to god knows who because they ditch their id b4 they get here.
There is no extent the damage this 🛎️end and Liebour will do before they get kicked out of office.
F**k these pricks who dont like Brits.
Oh like flooding the border with weaponised migrants like they tried to do a few months before invading Ukraine at the Polish/Belarus border? No one seems to talk about that.
What a clown car
While you are there blame the Russia for dinosaur extinction
Russian bots completely flooding this comment section! Means Russia is getting more desperate.
Yes, let's believe MI5 reported on the BBC. You couldn't write this stuff!! In news next, COVID jab, safe and effective.
lol wow, the UK government is causing plenty of mayhem without any help from Russia. The left controlled UK government has taken and implemented many ideals / policies from the old USSRs playbook. So, if that’s what the BBC means about Russia causing mayhem then they are right for once.
millions of illegal muslim rapists on the streets … “its russia”
More Russophobic claptrap from the people who brought us WMD.
Why does UK interfere in other country wars and take sides which are often wrong.
No mention of UK companies selling products to Russia proxy countries in Europe who then freight it to Russia or no mention of half of central London properties being owned by Russia
I think Russia has WMD oh sorry that’s Iraq why not just admit you are going after them for the American dream of world domination
It’s just like the old empires stuff innit
History is always on repeat
QED – Comments are full of Kremlin bots and trolls
What did the UK do?
Do they think we’re flipping stupid? They used to be able to brainwash the older generation who thought that governments and royalty are for this country and its people this is not the same generation you dumb fools
I do agree there is an Islamic threat, but Russia and all this talk
The British Government has failed it's own people, stop blaming others, be responsible for ur own actions, example making The Elderly suffer, Families in poverty, struggling for food and essentials,can't afford from A to B, children and teenagers suffering, I could go on and on, No hope for a peaceful Future, God help us……
I always find sign language to distracting to watch,there are subtitles everywhere now,why have them?.
