RAF Fairford

[Justin Passing]

Nope. A Wild Goose.

I speculate that it was Iran-organised and the whole thing was a wind-up. Get a bunch of dodgy looking young fellers to act suspiciously around a key air base, make everyone panic and demonstrate that Iran has boots on the ground in the UK, all without anyone actually breaking any laws.

If so then it was a very successful operation.

The fuel theft thing is probably a story to cover up embarrassment, they were probably empty vans.

Let me know if he needs someone to post bail.

That's too radical a way to avoid IHT

They might have been selling the vans. Classic ramming device.

Maybe it was a murrican plot, to throw suspicion and guilt on the Eyerainians.
Maybe not, but better bomb Eyeran in case.
Better to bomb them than expose a murrican.

Wasn't that the theme of a bombing team on a Sunday eve TV thriller?

Im not sure Trumpf and the loyalists that are taking over the CI A are that sophisticated

The 5 low-intelligence individuals may have been lured there on some kind of swatting prank? They are lucky not to get shot, the way they were behaving.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

They didn't invade the base, they just hung around the perimeter looking like dodgy geezers. If anyone had shot them it would have been murder, of course they weren't at any personal risk.

It was all a wind-up, i bet you. But our government won't admit they've been toyed with.

By calling the rozzers themselves? Explain?

Five blokes in three fake signed vans is not a wind up. They were there on business of some kind. It is inconceivable that releasing them on pre charge bail is appropriate if there was any real suspicion of their involvement in terorrist activity knowing or unknowing.

State-sponsored mischief. They get to watch the UK govt look like clowns for the cost of £300 van hire plus £200 each to a bunch of unemployed layabouts. It's amazing value.

 

[noseall]

State-sponsored mischief.

The Russians - I'd have expected slightly more professional from them.

Iranians - possible.

Trump - it does bear the hallmark of outright stupidity, so plausible yes.
