          • sustained use of terms: 'new', evolving', 'growing', 'increasing' to describe terrorist threat
          • New type of terroist threat - 'lone wolf' or 'lone actor'- who could potentially strike at any time was introduced into discourse
            • since 2005- less 'new' and more 'growing' and 'evolving'
              • is this true?
              • see Implementation of the Action Plan to Combat Terrorism from EU CTC to European Council

      • Anchored radicalisation as intertwined with 'home grown' dimension
        • did 7/7 act as a booster for cooperation with EU/UK Prevent strategy?
          • 2005 EU CT strategy- 'internal and external aspects of security strategy are inextricably linked' (2016, 177)
            • link to EU CT strategy in 2005
              • border control and collective action
        • Baker-Beall- perception that the terrorist threat had internal characteristics

      • A discursive analysis investigating the extent to which the 2005 London Bombings shifted the perception of terrorism from a external threat to a home grown phenomena
    • Context: The British Media

        • media - sees topic as worth considerable focus - Baker et al 2013
      • Is it tabloid vs broadsheet?
        • or is it comparable?
