Two RAF logistics jets were damaged at one of Britain’s most theoretically secure airfields overnight into Friday by Palestinian Action activists who were able to escape undetected.
Leftist direct action group Palestinian Action, which has been engaged in a campaign of violent sabotage of Israel-linked supply chains since the October 7th attacks, has claimed responsibility for a strike against the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force overnight. Two activists were able to infiltrate RAF Brize Norton, cause damage with paint-filled fire extinguishers and crowbars, paint a symbol on the runway and hang a Palestinian flag before leaving the area, all without being caught.
The air base is a legally protected place in British law and is heavily guarded, leaving serious questions asked about the state of its defence given two activists on e-scooters were able to cause damage undetected. The Commanding Officer of RAF Brize Norton, Group Captain Louise Henton OBE, a career “personnel and administrative officer” deactivated her X account on Friday morning after news of the infiltration became public.

Great security.

up
Complacency is a poor attitude in military or security personnel.
Heavily guarded, leaving serious questions.
Indeed
They used to hang saboteurs.
HEAVILY GUARDED????
HOW?
BY WHOM?
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE
Make a DEI hire, ya get what ya get..
I suddenly didnt care when I saw it was the Brits.
It seems the SOP needs a careful review. I'd dump whomever was in charge of security.

Probably not that heavily guarded.
No planes damaged?
“Two activists were able to infiltrate RAF Brize Norton, cause damage with paint-filled fire extinguishers and crowbars, paint a symbol on the runway and hang a Palestinian flag before leaving the area”
Andy and Barney are providing security?
NOTHING WILL!
oh wait... the first part covered the plane damage.
“Footage posted by Palestinian Action as they claimed the attack showed the activists riding battery-powered scooters at speed across the airfield and between aircraft. They can be seen spraying a liquid from repurposed fire extinguishers into the engine of an aircraft. Per Palestinian Action’s own words, this act was “decommissioning two military planes” which they claimed were to be used in the “genocide… against the Palestinian people”.”
I guess some of them are awake about how much Britain has been degraded, but they have been bullied into submission by the likes of Starmer and his ilk. On the whole, I think the British are fully demoralized at this point which is one of the goals of their oppressive government. I do not have much hope for them to be able to overcome their downward spiral.
Hey, Russia.
You want to put an end to the UK using the Ukraine as a puppet for drone strikes deep inside your country?
This indicates a weakness you might be able to exploit.
And the broad in charge:
The Commanding Officer of RAF Brize Norton, Group Captain Louise Henton OBE, a career “personnel and administrative officer” deactivated her X account on Friday morning after news of the infiltration became public.

The base commander’s career should be over as well. Maybe that’s a bit unfair. But that’s also where the ultimate responsibility lays.
Presuming that you’re referencing domestic, non-governmental brits...
It won’t.
