Fairford latest: Counter terror police investigating if Iran is linked to RAF base bomb plot, Sky News understands | UK News | Sky News https://share.google/cU4wjxGZBYQtIb3sx

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

And it’s also true that over the year numbers are down. If I normally eat a bar of chocolate every day, but I don’t eat any for 10 days then on the 11th eat 4, while it’s not great for my health that day it’s still an overall reduction.

Can you also agree that small boat crossings are down by over 42%?

From the Government's website.

For 'logical' read 'naively swallowing the line they are trying to spin to the public this time'.

Stealing petrol or more specifically diesel seems most likely. Thefts for that always skyrocket when fuel prices rise and at the moment they're sky high and diesel is going to go higher.

This will be why they had drums and why one of the vans had "Fuel2U" on it, as an attempt at looking relatively kosher.

If that is the case, as it clearly isn't terror related due to them being bailed, the only link to Iran is Trump's bloody moronic war (follow the money on that one).

What lies have you been told? It all seems pretty transparent so far, even if we don’t have the full info to understand every step (because investigations are ongoing). 5 men were arrested. They are British citizens from London. They’ve been released on bail.

Yes clearly petty criminals. How stupid to be acting suspiciously near a military base.

Didn't they evacuate 85 homes?? This is absolutely mental.

You really think that of there was a shred of evidence these men were terrorists they would have been let out on bail? You think the "authorities" actively want to let terrorist attacks happen?

What do you not understand about the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland being no longer a member of the EU and geography?

Better safe than sorry, though?

Are you suggesting the government/police are lying and have deliberately released people they know to be terrorists?

So every time someone is arrested, not charged and then bailed in this country, that constitutes as the authorities/government/police 'spinning a line' to the public, does it?

I think the authorities are that incompetent, yes.
I also think there is more to this than we are being told.

I think you’re not understanding tbf.

Some EU countries have similar softer policies and higher numbers, others are hardline and have much lower numbers. It’s unrelated to Brexit.

This. Countries like Germany also struggle.

I find it incredible how they can be released on bail

What do you think we are not being told and why?

However there isn't more to this than we're being told. And if there was then you would have no idea what that was.

There's no point in speculation.

Eta Anyway I'm now going to watch EastEnders, which has more basis in reality than your speculations.

But that wouldn’t be incompetence, woukd it? To have evidence of terrorist activity and still to bail would be deliberate malevolence. And to do it so publicly? What would that be?
I think you’ve decided they are Islamic terrorists and will never believe otherwise, no matter what the actual facts of the case are.

Yes but you'd think they'd have some evidence of terrorism and obviously there wasn't any. All seems very odd.

My mum worked at Bletchley Park, she was very good at languages and was recruited from the sixth form. We only found this out when she retired and she never ever told us what she actually did because she had signed the Official Secrets Act and took that very seriously. I cannot imagine that level of restraint today, holding a secret for over 40 years because you have signed up to never ever disclose the nature of your work protecting your country

Exactly. They arrive here via the EU. Its nothing to do with Brexit.

If there was evidence of terrorist activity they wouldn’t be. It would literally be incredible, unbelievable.
Ergo, there is evidence of some other crime (as others have said, probably diesel theft) which makes it perfectly safe to bail them.

Lies about Brexit, lies about men being women, lies about covid, lies about Henry Nowak, lies about the grooming gangs, lies about Victor Calocane. If you follow current affairs you will know how much covering up is done, it appears to be par for the course.
You could even go back as far as Hillsborough to know how much those in charge will lie.
The result is, faith is lost. That's where I am.

It most certainly has everything to do with Brexit.

They'll have done background checks and found nothing. They'll have found nothing in the vans exept maybe nicked diesel. They absolutely would not have released them if there was whiff of radicalisation and any bomb making equipment.
