Entering a site like that with "specialist" guards on duty risks a pop from a long gun with no warning.

It could either be a left-wing stunt (in which case the ‘explosives’ the polis are looking for will probably just be fireworks) or else someone is trying to open a branch of Ali’s Snack Bar on the base perimeter, in which case it’s serious ordnance, or possibly a drone swarm.

Given the apparent scale of it my money’s on something state sponsored, with Iran’s fingerprints all over it, possibly attempting to emulate the Ukrainian attack in Russia which used drones launched from lorries to blow up Russian long-range bombers.

Most weird …. Above post is by me

anyway, regarding the perpetrators, at least Farage and anti immigrant protesters are in the clear . . so far
