I don't see the relevance, unless you are going to claim that the UK started the war in Syria and is secretly funding IS with the aim of scaring the Scots into voting to stay as part of the UK. Seems very far fetched to me - I don't buy the idea that everything that governments do has some hidden political agenda, aimed at whatever current problem there is. Sometimes it's just a matter of the government doing what it sensibly needs to as part of its overall job. I worked with the specific security warning system as part of my job in the past, and there's nothing political about this system - it's always based on credible threats that are perceived by the Security Services. By and large those threats don't impinge on the general public, but make life more difficult for the staff and security officers at government buildings/installations, although I will concede that 7/7 did rather change that position.
