Hullo, hullo, hullo

Remember that "very big terrorist plot" (source: G Brown)? Turns out it wasn't so big after all. The Guardian reports:

Britain tonight moved to deport nine men arrested earlier this month following one of the country's biggest anti-terror operations since the July 7 attacks in 2005.
The men have not been charged with any offences nearly two weeks after being arrested in raids across Greater Manchester, Liverpool and Lancashire.
