LONDON (Reuters) -Pro-Palestinian activists broke into a Royal Air Force base in central England on Friday, damaging and spraying red paint over two planes used for refuelling and transport.
Palestine Action said two members had entered the Brize Norton base in Oxfordshire, putting paint into the engines of the Voyager aircraft and further damaging them with crowbars.
"Despite publicly condemning the Israeli government, Britain continues to send military cargo, fly spy planes over Gaza and refuel U.S./Israeli fighter jets," the group said in a statement, posting a video of the incident on X.

Indeed. Those “activists” should have been shot stone cold dead the instant their feet crossed into the flight-line.
What I want to know is why weren’t they?!
UK is lousy with muzzies.....I wouldn’t doubt they had help from the inside.
Yeah, how in the world did a bunch of wackos ever get that close to the aircraft..?
They could have really created havoc with flight endangering damage. They should have been room temp.
Every single one of them should spend a minimum of five years in prison to “rethink their life”.
What’s more concerning is the apparent piss poor security at RAF bases. I would hope that our military bases are better guarded, whether here or abroad and any idiot Israel haters who might try this will end up justifiably shot.

I think we have some very serious security problems in the US, thanks to the open borders policy of the Biden Administration.

Who needs drones and sleeper cell commandos when civilians can just walk up at night and work it over with a crowbar?
Pretty amazing stuff. The saboteurs (not vandals) were able to enter the base, damage two military aircraft, and then leave.
No arrests so far. Perhaps Prime Minister Starmer will appoint a commission to investigate the matter. Their findings will be released in a decade or so.
If these unwashed Communists can dip in and out of a supposedly secure military base, then one can only imagine how many times the Chinese have already done so.
They used to hang saboteurs.
105 years...minimum
How convenient when Britain might want to use them in an Iranian campaign
Inside job??
They should have been shot as soon as they tried to gain access.
