I couldn't find a thread on this breaking news. How awful for everyone involved.

Call me crazy, but some of them look older than 25. There were multiple photos on social media, I would even say one of them looks like he is 40+ but just in a good physical shape.
Anyway, there is an update on bbc news that airspace is closed near the base (+ evacuated people still not allowed to ho home). We are probably told 5% of this story....if not less

It's not until the terror attacks start that this shambles of a Government will start to take notice of the army of men they're giving the RNLI welcome to. And they will start - I think it will be something utterly devastating and in many cities at the same time. These men aren't coming here for a better life, they are jehadis coming for a reason.

I got Oasis tickets last week and I'm already rethinking a big stadium event where 60k people are sitting targets.

Yes, exactly, the Greens have this as part of their ideology.

A world without borders ... how wonderful (not)

It really isn’t. Reducing restrictions is on no way the same as removing them all.

I am more careful too, I was invited to a big event at London but I cancelled it, simply not worth the risk these days... I wouldn't go to places like arenas, halls even for free...

When did they become British nationals? That needs answering along what is their ethnicity?

You should absolutely not phone the police to report a crime. Naughty lady farmer!!

Or that’s the claim - perhaps our security services don’t want terrorists to know they we’re watching/folliwing them - just a thought!

The normal airspace restrictions around the base were I believe extended at some point yesterday, probably as.much as anything to stop the newsgathers getting too many images of what the police and others are up to...not sure if there's been another extension today.

The overhead video of the bomb disposal robot at work near the vehicles that was doing the rounds appears to have been an official release by the police.

Let's not speculate. It could be Palestine Action: Jacob, Tristan, Rupert, Olly and Phoebe the trans girl.

So where have they said how they are going to manage migration? At all? That manifesto is all about removing existing restrictions completely- the no recourse to public funds, spouse salary, detention centres, restrictions on working- all removed. Not reduced. Nothing put in its place apart from 'safe routes'. When questioned they trip out the line that they wish for a ' world without borders' but it's not in the Manifesto. So they are advocating for open borders. They just haven't written it in their current manifesto. The more openly crackpot they get and the more anarchists, SWP travellers and Islamists they welcome into their party the less likely they will be to get elected so that's something. The problem is that there are too many people within Labour who would rather they were more like the current Green Party.

yes this is a possibility. One of them looked White I though. Great way to get your proscription overturned!

I’ve already seen people predictably suggesting it was Mossad (not on here though).

True. It must be inconvenient for the public to see an image or have eye witnesses.

The BBC seems to have lightened the suspects skin colour. In the picture I saw on X, none of them looked white.

This government is way, way out of its depth.
They are running round like headless chickens. What part of we dont want 1000s of undocumented middle eastern me roaming free in our streets do they not understand?.
Then Burnham goes and prejudices a fair trial by stating publicly that he thinks a defendant awaiting trial is racist.
He should know better and probably does, but he still said it. Publicly

This!
I find it (almost!) unbelievable that we are letting all these young men roam the country when we don’t know who the hell they are.
I’m sure in the future when common sense prevails (hopefully) we will look back on these times and think ‘did we really allow that’ !
A bit like smoking on planes etc.

Can someone explain what a British national is, legally, please. The government guidance linked to above www.gov.uk/types-of-british-nationality only defines British National (overseas) rather than British National and that definition doesn't look to apply here "British national (overseas)
Someone who was a British overseas territories citizen (previously British dependent territories citizen) by connection with Hong Kong was able to register as a British national (overseas) before 1 July 1997.
British overseas territories citizens from Hong Kong who did not register as British nationals (overseas) and had no other nationality or citizenship on 30 June 1997 became British overseas citizens on 1 July 1997."
So who is a British National and does it apply to someone who came here as an asylum seeker or illegally but has been given leave to remain?

Someone on Gransnet suggested it was fuel thieves, possible I suppose!

But don't forget we've got the £2 bus fare to look forward to in January.

No, it doesn’t. The link - including the bit you quoted - is clear on classes of people who are nationals.
Edit: the list of ways to be a national on there is exhaustive. If you aren’t in one of those groups you aren’t a British national.

What will it take to say "enough is enough "? I'm starting to wonder if there is some sort of financial benefit to the government or else Why, just why are they still allowed to keep coming here.

Another example I can think of is from a little while back, but pretty relevant today:

During his address to the UN General Assembly in 2018, Trump warned Germany of over-reliance on Russian gas. There is footage of members of the German delegation smirking and chuckling in response to his remarks.

When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Germany’s heavy dependence on Russian energy triggered a severe national security and economic crisis.

And a few quid off our leccy bills

You have to laugh or you'll cry.
