Brize idiots
HOW on earth did pro-Palestinian thugs manage to break into RAF Brize Norton to damage two military planes?
Breaking through the perimeter fencing is one thing.
It’s beyond belief that security at RAF Brize Norton did not stop Palestine Action protestors getting onto the premisesITV News
But why weren’t they stopped in their tracks by armed guards before they got anywhere near military assets?
Instead, the first hapless commanders heard of it was when Palestine Action gleefully posted their footage online.
It’s beyond belief that security could be so lax at a time when the base is on high alert over Iran and Russia.
Results of a full investigation must be made public and, if necessary, heads should roll.
Meanwhile, this wasn’t a harmless stunt by a cosy protest group.
Palestine Action is made up of dangerous fanatics bent on attacking our country from within on behalf of a foreign cause.
Lord Walney, the Government’s ex-adviser on political violence, recommended it be outlawed as an extremist political group more than a year ago.
The militants have since gone on to terrorise workers at weapons factories and people outside Crown courts.
We welcome Home Secretary Yvette Cooper’s decision to now proscribe the hate-filled group.
The question is: Why did it take so long?
Dead loss
ASSISTED dying is a deeply emotive and complex issue.
In brutal terms, it amounts to state-sanctioned killing.
On that basis, it’s deeply worrying that Kim Leadbeater’s ill-considered private members’ bill is now set to become law.
It simply does not have enough safeguards, particularly for the vulnerable, poor and disabled.
During yesterday’s debate, the idea it might allow families to coerce elderly relatives into early deaths was brushed aside as though such a thing could never happen.
Fears from hospice carers were also dismissed.
The Government has been absent throughout the legislative process and nearly 150 MPs ducked the decision and abstained.
We can only pray that yesterday’s vote does not come to be seen as a historic mistake.
Unfair cops
POLICE and local authority chiefs need to explain why they failed to reveal that migrants in hotels in three cities had been accused of rape.
Crime associated with illegal migration is of significant public interest and concern in the wake of the Casey report into grooming gangs.
Any attempt to withhold information is bound to further damage public trust.
