  • They already sent that message. The moment anyone gets on one of those sites an alert should have gone off, and within minutes, they should have been apprehended. This is our air defense! Russian's regularly fly past our air space even before Ukraine war and we have to scramble jets immediately. If they take these out, we're sitting ducks.

    John Healey, the defense secretary called for an immediate review of all sites because he knew it was shit and unacceptable.

    Do you think if the Russians broke in, it would be red paint? This is a sideshow distraction.

  • Iirc the issue was they said they wouldn't and broke ranks for an opportunity.

    Lib Dems campaigned on student loans. They got seats and support because of it, and many felt betrayed. They rebrand themselves often. They're the rich but nice party. Free market capitalism with a plastic carrier bag tax. You forget they enabled austerity, and supported health reform that lead to the nursing shortage. They could have held firm on their red lines but they got drunk on opportunity. The question is if they ever cared about Brexit or saw an opportunity to position the party and ran with it.

    Trust is a big thing in politics for lefties.

  • Corbyn's leadership days were over. Looked like he was going to finish out representing his constituents.

    I don't think he wants to do this, but he may feel it needs to happen.

    He cares less about his needs and more about the people. Politics was brutal for him.

  • There is still distrust of the Greens when they joined that call of SNP and Lib Dems to call for election at the opportune time Boris wanted it. Labour under Corbyn said it was best to get the Brexit question resolved first and it gave Boris his big win and the chaotic Brexit he pushed through.

    Don't get me wrong, until today Green's were the best choice for left wing, but it's lacking leadership since Lucas stepped down.

  • That would be a concern, the default should be that folk want to break in and damage. It's our military readiness and first line of defence. Russians regularly run sorties close to UK space which we need to scramble jets for. They attacked 2 former Russian citizens on UK soil with Novachok and civilian(s) died. There was absolutely no grounds for complacency before the Ukraine situation and there certainly isn't now. Especially as we supply them and know we could become a target.

    It definitely feels like someone should be fired for this, unless they raised it, requested funding and was denied, but even then, whoever was in charge of base security should know vulnerabilities and staff accordingly. If staffed adequately and personnel failed in their duty, this is disciplinary territory.

    Punishing anti war protesters because our armed forces cannot handle amped up hippies is weird and surreal. It looks insecure/incompetent at best, authoritarian at worse.

  • To be fair, how did they even get close? Most those bases have lit perimeters and CCTV. They should be guarded 24/7. Russians are probably licking their lips. I think the armed forces needed this to happen to learn from it.
