Serious Major Incident at RAF Fairford

[morty]

One of the 5 said that he phoned 999.. Heard it on the news today..

It's getting more like an Enid Blyton adventure by the day..

Okay, I don't normally own up to feeling thick (especially when Dex is around) ... but why on earth would a suspect ring the police even before the farmer did?

Er, 999 also accesses the other emergency services.  Maybe his pet cat got stuck up a tree 🤷🏻�♂️

Or his flies were on fire..!!!

Or maybe he'd burnt himself on the McD coffee he'd bought en route, because it was still too dark to read the warning about the container having a hot liquid inside it.  That'd need both the fire and ambulance services to attend.

You aren't in the police or government ard you?

Could he be right ?

" These five, and perhaps a few others involved, were a dummy run for a proper terrorist attack on U.S. forces at RAF Fairford, and by one of the five ringing the emergency services, he was testing response times." "He was testing what would happen, you know, if a serious attack took place, could the attackers get away? That is what I believe was going on." They should never have released them"

Best suggestion I've seen and it makes sense. 

Real terrorists don't care about being caught they'd fight it out. Iranians or Russians would probably use patsies. Would they be smart enough? Probably not but their masters would.

This sounds the most feasible explanation from Farage.  Will we ever know  ?

I wouldn't be surprised if the USAF station armed guards within their bases in the UK.  I know that is not the case for the RAF, though such equipment is available. 
The Yanks are more willing to carry arms and, of course, police forces worldwide are routinely armed (with the one exception of the UK, of course).

It sounds sort of feasible but on the otherhand it's not too  bright is it? I mean they've just alerted the security forces to a glaring gap in their security haven't they?

It sounds damn strange all round.
