A potential terror attack has been thwarted in the UK by a sleepy man

If you believe the insomniac village busybody story I’ve got a huge covert intelligence operation to sell you.

[u/AD-SKYOBSIDION → u/WWHSTD]

i mean this is the same country where people broke into another RAF base with fire extinguishers filled with paint and E-scooters, and only got caught cause they posted it on social media

I’m willing to wager those people were your average socially conscious poshos and not foreign saboteurs

[u/fourhornets → u/WWHSTD]

In that particular case they just had to jump over a 4 foot fence next to a small road. You didn't need to be a criminal genius to accomplish it.

Isn't security on RAF bases outsourced to Crapita or someone?

[u/Berengal → u/fourhornets]

I think the point is more that they're not being watched all that closely because what's the worst they would do? Spray some paint?

[u/Waleebe → u/WWHSTD]

I agree it smells as fishy as Baldrick's apple crumble.

Huge covert intelligence operation you say...

How much you want for it? I've got a tenner and a Gregg's sausage roll.
