Major incident declared this morning near RAF Fairford with home evacuated.

Andy Burnham has said there are “strong indications that Iran played a part” in the suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford

I stayed on the fence for a bit, but it beacme more obvious.
Didnt really take Einstein.

It is them being released after two days or whatever, that I dont really understand.

Well, according to Andy Burnham who must be in the know as PM there is an Iran connection after all, so Farage wasn’t entirely wrong.
The men involved were British nationals but were acting for Iran either deliberately or accidentally it seems.

The five arrested are UK nationals! As usual folk are jumping the gun b3fire the full facts are known. Given this is a US air base , it is not surprising that it is a target for certain groups! Farage, as ever, stirring the pot!
Cossy you are absolutely correct in that this man is a grifter, takes a great pension from being an MEP paid for by an organisation he despises. How on earth can he be trusted ?

I am not getting what the difference is if they are all British Nationals.
They can still do damage just the same. Maybe better and easier.

You've moved on from Farage being wrong to criticising the authorities for saying they sought to investigate and making a comment about not speculating.

People always speculate but Political party leaders like Farage should not! Farage speculating on X and making small boat conspiracy theory comments carries a risk of civil unrest, small boat protesters, and Farage's followers inciting racial hatred like Lucy Connelly after Southport murders following Farage's incorrect conspiracy theory X comments on that occasions. He just never learns and doesn't appear to care. Thats why Counter Terrorist Police shut Farage down within the hour!

It's only Wednesday and there has not been a 'deafening' silence' on Fairford incident as you infer Primrose.

The “deafening silence” was about Ann Widdecombe.

I don’t understand what you’re expecting to hear about the Ann Widdecombe case prior to the trial Primrose53?

I thought maybe they were would-be sheep rustlers. I think we will just have to wait to find out what was really going on - but as Trump said they had had them under surveillance for some time, perhaps he can tell us.

Well well, the thick plotters.
Not just (fuel) soup.

Define British National.
It was actually Andrew Marr who said that.

Indigenous Celtic speaking origins, of Wales and the West of England as they have the only claim to be native British, everybody else is a foreigner.

Which was why I asked someone last evening, what is the difference if it is a British National.
Nothing as far as I can see.

So now there IS a terrorist connection.

So, why have the others been released on bail?
Has the dual national also been released on bail?
Am not understanding any of this. I mean my take on things is that charging someone with terrorist activities means you can detain them for a substantial amount of time.
And no explosives but petrol.
There really needs to be some clarification.

Yes, Farage certainly wasn’t entirely wrong.

I think most people’s objections was him linking this incident, which clearly appears to be linked to a British/Iranian, with those coming across in small boats.

To me, none of the situation surrounding this event is clear.

We are awaiting further details, which may or may not be issued. All very odd 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Not all British Nationals are full British citizens.

It is worse if he is British national in my view. It demonstrates how integration is failing.

I’m not sure you can draw that conclusion on the basis of one case.

As Farage blames everything on foreigners he’s bound to be right sometimes I suppose….

No but I think it every time an incident occurs and it is stressed 'British national' it really is counter productive.
