RAF Brize Norton planes damaged as activists break into base ahead of flights

1. I’m not joking; people need to be fired for this. How the hell can they enter a base, damage the planes and then escape without detection? How embarrassing; they could have planted anything on those planes.

2. This is the type of thing the SAS got a BBC series for doing in WW2.

3. Utterly insane where we are as a country where people proudly video their treason.

   We need to bring back early 1900’s treason laws for this.

4. Those on security duty will be getting a right bollocking in the morning.

5. Some RAF base security needs firing and these traitors need to be thrown in prison.

6. now consider if these clowns can do it, so could people intent on much more significant destruction

7. RAF regiment raf police are in for a world of hurt this morning

8. So treason? Damaging our national defenses, sounds like treason.

   The book needs to be thrown at them and also investigation on how the fuck they managed to get in there.

   Edit: The more I think about it the more I don’t know how you cannot say it’s not treason, they’ve damanged national defenses for another country (Palestine, while we may not recognise it.. I assume they do)

9. How smooth brained are these activists. Carrying out treason against their own country, right at a time when these planes may be required to save UK lives.

   Also possible that one of those voyagers was being used for Quick Reaction Alert, thereby endangering the whole of the mainland UK.

10. Isn’t breaking into a military installation and damaging military equipment on behalf of or in support of an enemy of the United Kingdom and his majesty’s government treason?

    The attack on the weapon factory in the UK involving a stolen prison van which led to the “activists” then hitting a guard with a sledgehammer should have led to Palestinian Action being declared a terrorist group, if the group isn’t proscribed after this then why the hell are we still proscribing Wagner

11. I would have expected these activists to have been shot dead doing something like this. Even at a regular airport, I would have expected security to have been instructed to use deadly force.

    They are either stupid or have balls the size of a water melons. Lucky either way

12. That’s going to cost tens of millions to fix, they will probably have to replace the engines. That is not activist action, that is a full blown act of treason/ terrorism. Where was MI5? Where was RAF security? People need to answer for this.

13. Doesn’t this automatically upgrade Palestine Action to a terrorist organisation?

14. Extremely fortunate as I believe lethal force is permitted on military bases. Could have been a disaster.

15. This raises serious concerns about the security provisions around Brize Norton, two people were able to get in and damage military equipment. That is not a good look.

    Hopefully the two criminals get a severe punishments, we need to make an example out of these two clowns.

16. Someone in RAF security is going to have a shit rest of the week.

17. I assume these clowns will now be designated as a terrorist organisation?

18. I live locally to Brize RAF Base, while driving past, ive always thought to myself “looks really easy to break into there”

19. Someone care to explain how they entered a military base and weren’t shot on sight?

20. This is embarrassing for the RAF – activists are hardly special forces or skilled in espionage.

21. Ukrainian intelligence services were able to infiltrate Russian airbases and blow up planes . We are extremely lucky these guys are not Russian spies or something because sneaking into an airbase and blowing up aircraft is absolutely something that’s possible.

22. How did they get to do all that damage without intervention????? They should be embarrassed

23. RAF Regiment? Where were you a? Or was this one of the Tories’ best ideas? Group 4.

24. A very long time ago, I scouted an RAF station as a filming location.

    I rocked up at the gate, was not searched, and twenty minutes later was sitting in the cockpit of a Tornado.

    It wasn’t very convincing.

25. Whoever done it, knew that the RAF Regiment were having a retreat at 5 Star Hotel and Spa.

26. Have the people in charge of security learned nothing from what Ukraine just did to Russia’s bomber fleet?

27. Jesus we’ve got no fucking chance if anyone wants to try an Operation Spiderweb on us..

    Or Operation spiderweb light.

    Where were the MOD plod? Where were the RAF regiment? We are being told all the time we are effectively at war with Russia and some pro-Palestine protestors managed to scoot up to millions of pounds of military assets on an RAF base and damage them.

    Time to name the group as a terrorist organisation and start rounding them up. Peaceful legitimate protest this is not. Throw the fucking book at them.

28. Some proper unhinged comments in here, struggling with the heatwave fellas?

29. “If you want to protest go after the source not the everyday people”

    “wtf, no, not like that”

30. I hope they get a decent jail sentence. Middle class “activist” about to get a big wake up call.

31. Hmm, attacking British planes to the strains of Arabic music. Not the smartest people in the world are they. 

    Juries love it when you put yourself as a foreign saboteur. Someone’s going to jail for a very long time indeed…

32. All of these threads have so many glowing comments, I’d be careful what you believe on here, seems very disingenuous

33. Once broke down on the way in to work on a base, and had to leave the car outside the gate fence. Less then 5 minutes of being outside the fence and the mod plod  were pulling up beside us to find out what was going on 

34. This is a major, MAJOR fuck-up. What an embarassment. Someone needs to get sacked for this.

35. FFS, can they really not think of anything better to do with their lives?

    Brize is purely transport, they have NO fighters / bombers based there.

    They carry military personnel and supplies around the world – not to mention bringing back injured and fallen personnel.
