One shouldn't speculate at this stage, but one cannot help but wonder if several things are the case.

Looks like it was more by chance they were discovered than being outsmarted by counterterrorism. I saw a report saying this was initially lead by a local police force on the tipoff of a local farmer.

If the worst did happen, ie war, would the young men in our families feel sufficiently loyal to serve?  Like my father did at the age of 35 in 1939?  Everything our country stood for has been eroded.  We should enlist the young immigrants of fighting age first.

Yes, my dad was 29 in 1939, but he may have joined the RAF before that year.

Trouble is that a fair few of them might already have been enlisted by our enemy's armed forces and intelligence services.

You got that right, Google Iranian Organized Crime Groups (OCGs)

Apparently Albanians have been the flavour of the month for some time.

How lovely.

It could be cost effective and more convenient for all parties concerned if we could start accommodating a lot more immigrants and enemies of the state (and States) in active military bases.

If happily provide a plot for a few. Maybe I'd try growing some roses on it.

My poor Dad was so young when he joined up he was 17 in 1942 .
He lived a life well lived honest and hard working , he never took anything from the state .
He always  warned about this happening , people invading our shores .
We used to laugh at him yet he was 100 % right .
He rests in a quiet country churchyard .
He would have been sad to see the country as it is today .

Does anyone believe this ? 
Are counter terrorism people going to show their hand or are so inept they rely on locals to report anything suspicion .
What next Dads Army ?

My father died in his late 50s, I was 17.  Never knew him as an adult really.  He'd have been appalled at the freeloading and far left attitudes in prioritising minorities.  A staunch conservative all his life who instilled a work ethic in me,  and a belief on taking personal responsibility for our circumstances for as long as we can.

The five suspects have now all been released on bail .
