Men arrested near RAF Fairford in major incident, homes evacuated
Way too close, but thankfully someone was paying attention and alerted the police before this got really bad. They reportedly tried to call RAF Fairford to report 3 suspicious vans, but couldn’t get an answer from the base.
AgonyFlips154Potential Attack on American military: "Terrorism" US military blowing up a hundred school girls: "Oops"
facto_tom 😎124fortunately a ragtag team of disgraced agents known as the slow horses thwarted the operation...
morty-goldstein.bsky.social65Another reason for erstwhile allies to question providing staging bases to an unreliable and increasingly hostile USA.
Create Hope58So jaded are we, many people easily can imagine F47/Miller/Hegseth/Natalie attacking ourselves for the purpose of blaming Iran and making UK look bad. Glad it was stopped. Stay Vigilant!
Lache Pas La Patate53As the hatred of America grows around the world I fear that it will only get worse.

ElizabethC 💙🐸2Apparent attempt to bomb a US air base. #ProudBlue www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
Bix2Not a surprise. The U.S. military bases around the world are pretty much being told to "circle the wagons," per the Hegseth mandate about contacting and releasing information to the outside world (and vice versa).
The police have asked everyone to please not speculate about the RAF Fairford incident, so naturally I'm going to waste no time in making up total bollocks to suit my own agenda.
D.Moore80If Farage really hates 'small boats', why does he never call Putin out?
Ian H63The big clue that he's lying is that he's claiming to have been in parliament.
lukewarm24.bsky.social56Brexit boats Not small boats All these boats are Brexit boats
Lander45They came across the Channel in small boats with fucking explosives, did they Nige?
Scary Iranian assets in the uk coming by boat when Russian assets are welcomed in by the reform fascists…
Simon Horbury32I’m looking forward to finding out the truth about Frog Face’s true allegiances to Russia (allegedly).
John Oxley295One of the things that links Farage and Trumpism is the complete disregard for the seriousness of government, and restraint Vs making everything content.
Andy Burge 🇬🇧🇪🇺59Farage is doing it again - stoking the flames of hate re the Fairford incident. He's one step way from saying "it's Muslims wot done it" .... but he'll be nowhere to be seen when his idiot supporters head to Fairford to cause trouble. bsky.app/profile/andy...
Patrick - Here for the craic❗️🤷🏼♂️😉19Farage is hardly ever in Parliament yet when he is instead of fighting for Clacton he’s allegedly spreading his own conspiracy theory #Clacton deserve him
Dragonrider "Is he dead yet?" 🐠🐟 Try/Me 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️14Numbnuts is 'Only asking questions '... Just like he did at Southport, and the hotels etc etc
Matthew Adams4Who has got "Reform Councillors" in the sweepstake?
amateurfoi.bsky.social4Because competent spies rely on dangerous rubber boats to get into the country rather than use passports obtained by dubious means to fly into a safe airport, ferry terminal or Eurostar ..
Rich4He's such a cunt It serves no interest at all apart from his pathetic dog whistling to speculate, but off he goes like the shits after a night on the razz
Tony Dexter3Fartrage and his fake news. Always pretending he knows what’s going on when in reality he’s clueless.
Mike Bailey2Did Farage go into deep cover to prepare for this? He has been missing for days but as soon as there’s a chance for him to outflank the combined security services and police he is on it like a fly on a fresh laid turd
Suziey332He's never in Parliament so thats a lie straight away
Five men are in custody and dozens of homes were evacuated after police received calls about suspicious vehicles near RAF Fairford.
Mary Kay10But we don't care about our allies now, right DJT?
I guess they are supporters of Iran, but there is a chance they could support Russia.
Zigzaggreen🇨🇦5More lies by the Americans and Israelis they made it up. So they could brage about how good they are remember America lied to get Britain in Iraq and how did that work forcthem .
Ubique1There are many corners of many foreign fields which are forever America. USAF Fairford is just one of them.
lost-soul1Hmmm, no photo of them and I wonder why could be someone on the right wing view point?
Across Europe we are witnessing a series of terrorist attacks targeting planes, warehouses, energy infrastructure, rail tracks etc. Now, we have an attempted terror attack at the RAF base in Fairford, UK, involving explosives. It is so severe that civilians had to be evacuated.
Fair Trader25Maybe the immigrants the Brits should have been concerned about were the Russian oligarchs and their spawn.
Rip & Tear ‘til RuZZia is done🇺🇦13Russia is a terrorist organization
Fetchez La Vache FELLA #NAFO 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇬🇪 🇪🇺10No none of that is necessarily connected or true. No one knows who it is yet, it could be home grown Nazis or anti war grandmas or anti genocide brown people, Israeli false flag, Us false flag, British false alarm or yes least likely an Ivan or two.
il Cane Saggio3The base is lent as an American airbase. B52s and B1 bombers fly out of there, most notable recently to bomb Iran, so the suspects list extends beyond Russia.
Read: On Courage2When did every crime turn into terrorist attacks? Western countries love throwing that term around. What if the perps are beavis & butthead trouble makers unable to form the required intent to scare the population?
Invictus Ghost2If he now starts a shooting war with Cuba, and we have a terrorist attack at a base in the US, we will have no idea if it's Iran or Cuba. We ARE going to be attacked have no doubt. These smaller countries have no choice but to fight through asymetrical warfare.
Ward Carroll15The other shoe is dropping. Stay vigilant, everyone.
Corporal von Fartburger3This is bad, and Russia needs to cease existing as a country, but it’s also helpful to keep these attacks in perspective. They are creating nuisances in Europe. We on the other hand are obliterating their industrial base at a strategic level.
subvet48.bsky.social2A developing story that needs much more coverage and investigation, each act is another test to the unity and boundaries of Europe.
Counter-terror police lead investigation into major incident near RAF base, officials say www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...
Light of the North2Could this have been enabled by all of the “patriots“ distracting security forces from their real work? These traitorous patriots are a product of the enemies of western democracy aren’t they? Respect for the work you do.
Sergeant Swamp💙1Another example of Trump's senseless war and how it causes worldwide disruptions and protests.
SeeSure1Taking bets on russia or Iran being responsible for this.
Sue in Rockville 💙🦋💙🦋💙🦋4Wouldn’t it be nice if Trump hadn’t trashed & alienated all our allies & we could cooperatively work again against terrorists? Instead the terrorists are his #ICEGestapo THUGS right here Trump loves America's enemies Why does he hate US & our Democracy? abcnews.com/Internationa...
bmaz2Which of our enemies was it, the Russians or the Iranians?
Nigel Farage has demanded that the identities of the RAF Fairford suspects be released, saying the public "deserve to be told the truth". Yes they do Mr Farage, and that is something you and your party could take forward. As an aside, how stupid would he look if Putin is in any way implicated?
Somefella19Why do we need to know? Maybe there's a bigger network at play. Maybe the services know what they are doing? Maybe they were clad in black and balaclavas Maybe he thinks they're brown... Oh yes. That's it.
Peter Jamieson18What's in the public interest, and what the public are interested in are not the same thing. Nigel's just trying to look relevant, as usual.
Tim Burnett13Farage trying to prevent a fair trial again?
David13The words farridge and the truth have no place in the same sentence.
Agrippa9Be nice to hear the PM just say “perhaps the absent member of Clacton can firstly visit his constituency for the job he refuses to do and secondly cease his usual dog whistling to inflame his tiny minded racist followers. He has 5 MPs, not 500. He doesn’t speak for any public.”
isosolies.bsky.social8Whats his obsession with the identity? It sounds like it might have been Russian or Iranian. Im sure MI5 want to investigate the suspects and get an idea of who they work for and if there are anymore of them. Their job wont be helped by splashing the identities of the suspects all over the news.
Five men have been arrested as counter-terror police investigate a major incident near RAF Fairford They were arrested on suspicion of committing offences under the Explosives Act, and have been further arrested on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act
Sally Luxmoore13Russians, or paid by Russians? People should not assume that it's always the racist mob. If explosives near a military base are involved, I would always want us to look at Putin first.
Aphex Gwyn8+ UPDATE + The five men were found to have been wearing black shorts and balaclavas so have been released without charge. Two of them are on traffic duty tomorrow and the remaining three are scheduled to terrorise the local lifeboat station.
Felonious Musk5The terrorists were inside the base plotting to kill more school girls.
Stuart4Has anyone asked where Farage was at the time?
👣Coco👣 🇺🇦 🇪🇺3All under control Ms Derbyshire.....
Bob’s Your Uncle1How is an attack on a military base being used in a war terrorism?
Five men have been arrested by UK police on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts after three vans were reported heading towards RAF Fairford, a key US bomber base in Britain. Bomb disposal teams examined the vehicles and around 85 homes were evacuated.
Perplex Puss 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🏳️🌈 🏴☠️ 🇺🇦3Paid by the Russians on Telegram let me guess!?
🇨🇦 Paul ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️2tЯ☭mp owns this. And it’s only a matter of time before this happens on US soil.
bug11Making signs for a non-violent protest to oppose genocide organised by Palestinians-Action (considered a terrorist group) could probably be considered "preparing terrorist acts" under UK law.
skyyywalker.bsky.social1We've already lost all of our middle east military bases to Iran's bombing.. the time is coming for us to withdraw from all foreign lands because we can't be trusted.
Anonymous112The case is still under investigation and any speculation, especially for paid engagement or political propaganda is discouraged.
hammancheez7how long before we find out they bought the fake explosives from a government agent and they let them get all the way up to the base perimeter for maximum dramatic effect
Re the 5 men arrested nr the RAF Fairford base..two things about this BBC report made me laugh 1st: It came to the attention of police because a local resident alerted the police to suspicious activity near the base early on Sunday. She said she initially called the MoD police but nobody answered
Fionna O’Leary52Gives you faith in our defences, doesn’t it? Dad’s Army at the ready Her follow up 999 call saying she’d seen 3 masked men did the trick tho’ The second thing that made me laugh is that whilst the U.K. said it was NOT an intelligence led operation, TRUMP said… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Terry Twinspin 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️13I have my suspicions that the British security services would be quite happy to let you think that it was foiled because an eagle eyed villager rang the police. It saves them having to explain what assets they have inside Iranian intelligence.
Dawny B5Yes that made me titter.
Trump making comments about the incident at RAF Fairford. Journalist yelling "were they migrants?" I mean the rabid obsession of the UK media to weaponise this issue is bordering on incitement.
CallieBalloo4I’d imagine they were Mossad agents carry out a false flag operation to drag Britain into the Israel/US war on Iran.
Rusty2He's also such a comforting presence for racists and bigots to do their work
Agherbob 🇮🇪1Also everyone at "RAF" Fairford is an immigrant... it is a fully American Airbase.
Trump on Fairford UK arrests: "Working with Britain, it was an amazing job. We had them under investigation. They they were looking to do big damage to our ports."
Chig12I thought he said ‘fort’. He thinks RAF Fairford is some kind of playground for Americans to play at being soldiers.
Wonder Woman 🐝 Demands Justice9He has no fucking clue about this.
Ellen Jæger 🌻7Ah, this brings back fond memories of his famed musings on the Revolutionary War, where he thought ports were airports.
Pete Hotchkiss7Ports? Or fort. BBC here report he said the latter
jasonroberts3114.bsky.social6Jesus Christ. He has no idea about covert intelligence, does he? What other potential leads have been neutralised due to the “we’ve had them under investigation” line? Anyone else in the network have now gone to ground. He sacrifices security for a sugar rush line for publicity. Utter plonker. 🙄
davemc5192.bsky.social4RAF Fairford, operated by US, is one of the largest US bases by runway length & capability, used by B52’s & Lancers & was being used for Iran War Strange that the 5 were first arrested under the ‘Explosives Substances Act’ & then rearrested under the ‘Terrorism Act 2000’, so it’s a developing op’…
