A SUSPECTED plot to kill the Queen at a Royal British Legion event ahead of Remembrance Day at the Royal Albert Hall has been foiled by police. British tabloid The Sun reports four Islamic terror suspects are thought to have been planning a knife attack on Her Majesty, 88. It is thought the alleged assassination plot on the Queen emerged during routine surveillance. The Queen and British Prime Minister David Cameron were both informed of the police operation and potential threat, the Sun reports. Heavily-armed counter terrorist police swooped on four addresses across west London and High Wycombe in the Thames Valley overnight and arrested the four men aged 19 to 27 years.

Amen from a YANK!
"I....Must....Kill....The.....Queen."
Wood-chipper time in Piccadilly Circus.
Islamic? Wow, what a shock.
If I were an assassin, going after an 88 year-old titular head of state would be pretty far down my list of priorities.
The Brits have tolerated a lot of crap from their Muzzie invaders, but I think all hell would break loose if they dared touch the queen.
"The Metropolitan Police (said) the arrests and searches were part of ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism."
SAY THAT AGAIN?
The Metropolitan Police (said) the arrests and searches were part of ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism.
ONE MORE TIME...

Filthy, evil savages.
Yeah, someone would open a carafe of whoopAss
That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the Queens pleasure.
I'd do it. Millions would volunteer with me.
God Save the Queen!
If that doesn’t wake them up, nothing will. Once an Empire... now? Geez.
“God Save the Queen!”
Looks like maybe he did, too:)
and what if they only intended to touch the queen, but got caught before they actually could?
that’s what happened here.
they’ll get 5 years in some candyass brit prison, where they’ll be further radicalized.
until the brits restore capital punishment and dole it out a few times, they’re second string. the germans gave up when Dresden got bombed, the Japanese surrendered after two atomic bombs were dropped. you have to display a willingness to apply overwhelming force to your existential threats, then you’ll be left alone. until a younger generation forgets the lesson. at which time you’ll go through the crap all over again.
I used to live in High Wycombe..
Well that will do just fine as well.
500 years ago that would have been a drawing and quartering offense. The Brits used to know a thing or two about dispatching bad actors.
Maybe showing that sort of punishment on al-Jazeera would make an impression on terrorist wanna-bees.
Looks like maybe he did, too:),
I totally agree here and am pleased that no one here believes that such a person should suffer hate. She, though Head of State, was not empowered to make decisions in matters of life and death.
I would like to quote something I read about the arrest of the "Yorkshire Ripper". He had murdered unfortunate women he picked up in his truck. He defied detection by Britain's finest. An ordinary policeman on patrol got him on a hunch. "Good old fashioned coppering" was the general consensus.
Yep, chalk one up for the Bobbies.
Sorry, somehow I missed your description of D & Q before I posted. Nice and vivid for those not aware of the details.
