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.

I think people only get breathalysed if someone reports them to the police not simply because they’ve left a party? Unless they’re witnessed driving erratically.

I’ve certainly never been breathalysed in nearly 33 years of driving.

Imagine if the farmer HAD ignored the strange goings on right next to a military Base and it turned out to be a catastrophic terrorist attack.
Imagine if the authorities HADNT ignored the clear danger that the "Welsh choirboy" posed and the brutal Southport attack was prevented.......

People who get on boats in France - what kind of persecution are they fleeing exactly?

Didn't realise the people smugglers had developed self-driving boats 😮

Thanks for posting that. It's good to know who your enemy is. They have no loyalty to the UK, just like this government.

Well if Deng Chol Majek an asylum seeker from Sudan wasn’t allowed into the country and then to just stroll around freely then she would still be alive wouldn’t she? So I struggle to agree you can separate her death from immigration policy.

Yes, quite.

But if suspected of terrorism, the police could detain the suspects for longer while they carry out further investigations. They did not need to release them on bail. So that points to there being no evidence of any terrorist activity.

The numbers aren’t down. If 40,000 people arrived in the boats last year (100,000 asylum seekers by all routes) and 20,000 arrive on the boats this year (say 50,000 by all routes) then the number of uninvited people, mostly men in the country is not down - it is up to 60,000 off the boats and 150,000 by all routes. Less 1 or 2 that get deported - but they are reasonably likely to come back anyway.

Not necessarily. They've been released on strict bail conditions.

Seriously, no. There is no way they would give bail to someone they considered to be a terrorist. They have to consider the high likelihood of absconding, and the potential harm to the public.

Except that numbers actually are down by 50%, whilst boat arrivals are down by 70%. Many, many more than "1 or 2" get deported.

You might be right, you might not. On the surface it would seem unlikely suspected terrorists would be bailed.

Was it because they looked Middle Eastern - or was it because they were skulking around in the dark near a military base wearing balaclavas and scarpered when headlights hit them? Hmmm let me think…

Funny how they all have a roof over their heads, food in their bellies and money in their pockets then? How do you square that circle?

Why would she feel stupid?
Whatever they were doing they were hardly upstanding citizens going about their lawful business. She was absolutely right to call 999 wasn’t she?

The “safe routes” advocates need to look into the CBP1 app under the Biden administration. People could use the app from Mexico to apply to go to America. Resulted in people migrating to Mexico from Venezuela, Haiti and elsewhere and living in tent camps in order to apply using the app. Over 60 million applications on the app (not 60 million individuals as the same people could keep applying).

There are more uninvited arrivals in the country this year than last. Thousands more.

4% of people that arrived on small boats since 2018 have been deported. 4%.

to copy and paste the maths from a different thread:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-system-statistics-year-ending-march-2026/how-many-people-are-returned-from-the-uk

6.1 Returns of small boat arrivals
……..A total of 8,427 people who arrived on a small boat between 2018 and the YE March 2026 have been returned from the UK…….
end quote

A quick add up of arrivals (reducing the number to 10k for 2026 as the above talks about to March 2026 rather than September) comes to 202,633 small boat arrivals.
8,427 returns out of 202,633 arrivals (8,427/202,633 x 100) =4.159 %

Older versions of the government report actually stated the 4%. It has been removed but not much has changed.

The Government does not deport to Afghanistan or Sudan (it also says that on their website) so those nationalities are going nowhere. Maybe doing the migrant hokey kokey with in, out, in out, one in, one out with France deal.

If it dies turn out that they are diesel thieves then that will be a huge relief. I’m very impressed that the farmer did what she did. Trump and Rubio are clearly idiots and I strongly suspect are not told a lot by British intelligence because they themselves are a security risk.

As always I despair of all the online idiots everywhere who froth themselves into conspiracy bollocks rather than just letting the police do their work.

I never said Burnham upset me - you must be talking to another poster.
Please try and keep up.

It is indeed - and yup I am indeed that childish - thank you.
