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

There’s a link above.

What is the difference between red and white?

2 tier justice. Have you forgotten the Manchester airport circus?

The red is dyed, it’s for agricultural use.

Here is another couple

I drive 12k miles a year, all over the country for 20 years now.

Ive never once seen a roadblock or police check for red diesel.

So what's going on then, is there not a war on the horizon?

‘Racially profiled’ makes it sound as if they were just going about their day and were targeted solely based on their appearance.
Don’t you think the fact that it was in the middle of the night, and they were in three vans driving toward a secure military airbase, might have been the actual reason they looked suspicious?

Maybe they are Reform MPs? The plot thickens....

Maybe these guys forgot to live stream themselves doing a criminal act like Fanny did.

It’s not 2 tier justice - maybe endangering life at sea is more of an offence than nicking diesel - maybe as there isn’t the live stream footage or any other sufficient evidence to charge them with anything - Tommo was charged, these have not been.

I hope not. I was planning to watch 70 up later.

Yes, lets get Liz or Boris back in. Or Nige, he is such an experienced politician.

How can they be judged to be "Middle-Eastern looking" when seen from a distance in the dark all wearing Balaclavas ?!

Nah. There isn't enough Reform MP's. Farmer said there were around ten and definitely more than five. What a farce. It's like Dad's Army.

I've been terrified but apparently it's not what it seemed

Thank goodness, I've got Corrie on now!

I'm confused about this incident. I've read that the young men have been released on bail. Surely if they are as dangerous terrorists as has been painted, they would be too risky to warrant granting bail to? So what's that about?

Well, Boris was mayor of London at one time and Nige spent 21 years as an MEP, can't really speak for Liz though because IMO she was a turncoat - she originally was a LibDem

Thugboat Tommy videoed himelf slashing the dinghy and but despite this clear evidence he is pleading "not guilty" he is also NFA so this will probably also have some bearing on remanding him in custody. The other Tommy, the one that went and spent time with Elon Musk's dad who has had a child with his stepdaugter who he has known since she was 3 (protect r wimmin an gurls init) has begun a fund raiser to cover Thommo's legal costs. Robinson/Yaxley Lennon stated "Tommy didn't slash that dighy for himself, he did it for all of us" so there is another admission of guilt.

5 get done for planning to steal red diesel?

That sounds like a very up to date Enid Blyton story!

So they had no information to believe her death was a politically motivated crime. That is not the same as saying definitively that it was not a politically motivated crime. And the press conference in question was broadcast, so we know exactly what the police said. They said they had no information to suggest it was politically motivated but that they were keeping an open mind.

It is true that, having initially ruled out terrorism, the Counter Terrorism Police took charge when new information emerged. That's what happens in investigations of this kind. Something will get ruled out based on the information available, but then additional information comes to light bringing it back in. However, to date the suspect has not been charged with any terrorist offences.

Maybe they were bolstered by some. Reform counsellors. There are still a few left that haven't quit in a fit of pique

😆

I bet that farmer feels a bit stupid now

At least she didn't call an urgent Cobra meeting - that was Andy Burnham.

You can use it for boats, too, but there's some weird rule that you have to pay full duty on the amount used for propelling the boat.

He called a cobra today? What for?
