RAF Fairford

If the 5 people are muslims, they won't be stealing petrol - muslims don't steal. Rape, murder, asssult, bombing, threats and intimidation, fraud and drugs yes, but they rarely do any direct theft or burglary.

Reminds me during the petrol strikes some brother was storing petrol in a wheely bin so that he could still run his taxi. The petrol melted the wheely bin and flooded the basement, local residents had to be evacuated for week's. I think it was in Birmingham

The word going round the rumour mill is that they were stealing diesel.

Yeah, blame the orange buffoon for making it so attractive..

I thought they were maybe refuelling the planes

The fuel-theft explanation makes very little sense. Why drive from London in three vans to steal fuel beside one of the most sensitive military sites in the country, in the middle of the night?

Fairford is heavily secured and has historically carried warnings that lethal force is authorised. Whatever they were doing, it seems extremely unlikely they simply wandered into this situation by accident. I think they were under instructions to cause some damage or carry out pen testing of some sort, but either chickened out or were simply busted. Bail is due to them being tier 1 citizens

They wouldn’t have been released if there’d been anything on them, certainly wouldn’t have been released if there were explosives in the van!

The incident went from 'terrorism act' to 'criminal act' and they were bailed.

Trump and Rubio end up looking stupid, as usual- trying to make this out to be some major plot "they knew about"

Also, now turns out that one of the men involved in this situation, called the police.

Wouldn't it have been more fuel efficient to pick somewhere closer to home?

If you're pinching it, fuel efficiency is not really a concern

I know, but if you are selling your ill gotten gains for profit, every little helps.

the whole story just gets weirder - now we learn they phoned 999 themselves, an hour before the farmers wife did

Exactly.
Theft is a sin in Islam, so Muslims do not steal...

Also, Christianity. Your point is...?

i suspect his point is; one group claim to be very religious and the other group couldn't care less about such preachings

 

[johnny2007]

Also, Christianity. Your point is...?

Christians are not as pious as Muslims.
In fact, Christians sin all day long hoping to be forgiven, unlike Muslims who don't sin...

Thousands attend prayer rally...

Are you sure about that?
