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

And my DB. Does he have less right than my DSis and me to live here just because we happened to be born here? A simple accident of birth.

Because Trump set the hares running on a terrorism theory presumably.

The Times View

Police investigating Widdecombe killing sowed needless confusion.

The bizarre initial refusal of officers to countenance a political motive resulted in exactly the outcome they were so anxious to avoid: a backlash.

They aren't terrorists afterall just common or garden crims nicking stuff hence bail.

I'd say there are many more posters on here who must feel extremely stupid, some of the comments are wild.

I do think where you are born matters yes.

Trump is a Russian asset and who knows what his exact goals are.

You put more credence in a newspaper opinion piece than a lawyer’s analysis?

Normal diesel £2 per litre
Red diesel £1 per litre

vans painted up to cover moving fuel
how many months have those lads been nicking fuel from farms ?

For goodness sake, we have the exact same parents as he does. What complete lunacy is this?

Are you suggesting he shouldn’t have called a COBRA meeting? RAF Fairford is a strategically sensitive site used by the US Air Force. The President of the US tweeted that they had intelligence on the incident. Counter-terrorism police have been investigating whether the individuals involved were working as proxies on behalf of a foreign state. I think it’s probably quite important the Prime Minister and his government attempt to get a full picture of the incident. Not least to try and stem the kind of dangerous conspiracy theories this thread is full of.

What for reporting something suspicious?

Why would you think they would feel stupid, why do you want them to feel stupid?

It is so important that we don't turn a blind eye

Trump is trumping out of his backside.

Yes, Fairford is on high alert.
I will bet those lads had NO IDEA it was there.

They were hitting farms for red diesel
af they have done for months

TBF I think it was right to report the suspicious behaviour even if it was not terror related.

My God you have a short memory, these three did not exactly cover themselves with glory, did they? Boris - corrupt, inept, pompous and stupid; Farage - lying pro-Brexit bullshitter with an EU passport; Liz - well, she is mad, isn't she?

Burnham - upset you with what? That he is Labour? I bet you would hate him no matter what his policies would propose. Just because, you know, Labour.

She did the right thing reporting it given it’s near an airbase.

They maybe thought the alleged diesel thing was just a smokescreen for doing a security recce of the perimeter fence so had to check backgrounds and residences first for terrorist paraphernalia or something.

I have 6 cousins on my mum's side and not 1 of them was born in the UK but we are all white British.

The boat was empty and ready to set off back to France to pick up the next lot of doctors and engineers

Righto

Trump has just said he knows everything about the 5 arrested and that he would not have released them.

I agree with all that. I still think - while investigations are ongoing - as Prime Minister, chairing a COBRA meeting to get a full picture was the right thing to do.

And I have a feeling that if the Prime Minister hadn’t held a COBRA meeting, plenty of people on this thread - some of whom I get the impression are determined to hate the government no matter what - would have been in up in arms about that too.

All I ask is for you to reflect in about a week when the truth comes out about them simply being red diesel thieves and to consider that maybe just maybe you are susceptible to conspiracy theories and what you are going to do in future not to fall for them again.

There was an aid worker on that boat.
