The local authority has (via Twitter) advised residents (and presumably the rest of the world) not to worry if they see Armed Police Officers doing the rounds this Christmas.  Apparently, they are being deployed in an attempt to try and ensure "everyone is safe".

Luton Council does not identify what exactly is this threat is that requires Armed Police patrols. It has asked readers to report "suspicious activity", but again does not explain which activity might require an Armed Police response?

What on earth has happened to Luton that might require the presence of Armed Police patrolling the streets at what is traditionally the most peaceful time of the year?

Like Manchester, Luton has a big problem with Islamic extremists.

Did anyone see those Islamic marches a while back? They were openly chanting about killing the police and burning politicians, aggressively threatening women in dresses etc. Sickening and unbelievable how they get away with it!

If they were arrested, I saw no evidence of it. A journalist called Stacey Dooley filmed similar marches, it used to be on YouTube.

Had occasion to go to Luton a couple of years ago, driving through the town reminded me very much of what had happened to so many towns around Birmingham and further North. 
And the politicians still pretend nothing has gone wrong.

I went to a Luton Town football match several years ago. I looked for the border post at the entrance to Kenilworth Road and regretted not bringing my passport to get in! It was unbelievable. And if its got worse since then...................................

FYI the armed police are to guard against nasty right wingers. The sort of people who black up or hijab up to provoke racial tension.

Muzzrat against Muzzrat probably.....don't forget they hate each others branch of Islam as much as anyone else.

Perhaps I am just being phobic but when ones life is at stake then it's only natural !

It is indeed a truly hideously appalling place that regularly features highly in the "worst place to live in the U.K." table.

Not just Luton operating an 'Armed Response' .

RAF Mildenhall sees gunshots fired today after a car tries to ram the gates. One individual said to be in custody.
