Palestine ‘Activists’ Break Into Secure Airfield, Sabotage Royal Air Force Jets
Breitbart ^ | 20 Jun 2025 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 06/20/2025 6:22:00 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

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.

Brize Norton!!

From the headline, thought it was a UK air base somewhere in the Middle East.

Group Captain Louise....should fall on her sword.

Rather knee-jerk reaction.

Time will tell.

She is history now anyway.

“Group Captain Louise....should fall on her sword.”

If she won’t voluntarily fall on her sword, highers up will see to it that she falls on it involuntarily.

The stupid knuckleheads caused all of this horrid mess everywhere. They started this mass migration because they want to rule everywhere.

Problem is, they are evil and incompetent boobs.

Here’s her profile:

There’s more out there if you search around.

It’s hard to say for sure but she looks like she could have been a DEI hire.

Or helped along in that regard. But I doubt if she will face any serious consequences.

Remember that female New Zealand navy captain who ran her ship aground, causing it to sink? She should have been cashiered the next day. Instead she was praised because the crew abandoned ship in an orderly fashion.

I think I see a problem here...
DEI as implemented among our allies is going to kill them.

“I have a feeling it was homegrowns.”

When I was assigned to RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath, the boil on our hind ends was Lindus Percy, a leader in the Committee for Nuclear Disarmament. She was always breaking in and painting planes and other equipment with anti-American slogans.

Yup—that screamed DEI at me as well.

They should have been running “red team” exercises on their own to test the security systems.

In the US military, it used to be you’d get your brains blown out, for pulling a stunt like that. They’d shoot first, ask questions later, so we were warned. Don’t know if it’s the same now.
