On the face of it, looks like the police putting two and two together and making fifteen. Again.
A of men in balaclavas near an airbase at night who run away when they get caught in headlights. Must be terrorists, right? Unless they’re stealing fuel.
Same thing happened in July. Someone seen flying a drone near the site of an Islamic festival that was going to be attended by 1500 people. So they must be planning a terror attack. Ended up with twelve men arrested and headlines on the TV news. But turns out there never was any terror plot.

I’ve just finished Slow Horses and this has River Cartwright written all over it.

Surely a terrorist gang doesn’t leg it when a lone woman coming back from a party notices them? It sounds more like garden variety thieves in the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe some of Danny T’s NonceBonnet crew who’ve been paid to cause mischief and didn’t realise what they were getting into.

Aren’t they from London? Why drive over 2 hours to steal diesel?

Trump sounds desperate for it to be Iran, so he can drop some mega bomb on them and end the war and lower prices before the mid terms

They needed to steal the diesel to drive from London

You seen the price of Diesel?
I see Trump arse kisser Rubio is trying to spin the Iran angle to please the boss and ride the false flag into the ground. Let’s face it, blame it on Iran, make out to the UK government that the UK is under attack from Iranian terrorists, “see, you need to support us now, especially as we’re running out of munitions”
Daily Heil still pushing the Iranian slant alongside the other right wing papers and Farage/Lowe dry humping it, the Russians must be laughing themselves silly at this and they don’t really have to lift a finger

Everyone you’ve mentioned are literally sucking on Putin’s teat though. So whilst he’s probably laughing it’s because he’s paid for it

Yeah, but 2.5 hour drive to nick some diesel? Are there no farms nearer to them? Why one next door to an RAF base?

I’m no criminal mastermind, but after watching some of the gormless wanks on Police Interceptors and the like, they’ll go to some lengths
Saying that, something proper fish smelling going in here

3 vans loaded with bombs speeding from London towards Fairford, police already watching for days and stopped the attack. Iranian backed Terrorists that Trump was following.
Actually, Some bird calls the police on some dudes pinching diesel.

Passengers tell Israeli media pilot was stabbed on flight diverted to Saudi Arabia - BBC News
I’m just getting too cynical in my old age, but this seems awfully suspicious timing
Don’t forget how handy it was there just happened to be two pilots on board able to step in to land the plane

Andy Burnham reckons Iran WAS involved in the Fairford incident. Looks like they were incompetent hired terrorists, like the petty criminals paid by Iran to set fire to those Jewish ambulances earlier this year.
