Air Cadet minibus torched
How very brave to attack a compound used by children. Hopefully this is a one off and doesn't encourage any more stupidity. :ugh::mad:
AS a target for a protest against the military might of NATO, anarchists in Bristol could hardly have chosen a softer one. An Air Cadets minibus used by youngsters in the city to attend activities was torched in Speedwell in an apparent attempt to send a message to "power mongering" world leaders heading to a summit today in Newport.

Follwing on from the "bravery" of the IRA in Belfast, who placed an IED at the Air Cadet Sqn there, killing a 16 yo cadet in January 1975. :(

What a bunch of pathetic tossers - the so called anarchists that is. Hope someone comes up with the money for a replacement. I might try a local business that is doing rather well
|
Pathetic in the extreme. Perhaps they could have a whip round at the NATO Summit.

I know this particular shed on wheels.........oops, I mean minibus, and I'm surprised it hasn't already self ignited.
Oddly, the anti capitalists/anti whatever's did a similar thing a while back at HMS Flying Fox on the other side of Bristol. I've never quite grasped how the idea of torching what is effectively a youth club minibus gives the protesters the moral high ground ! |
It's a good job I'm not in a position of power, after carpet bombing the Middle East, I'd sort this shower of #$$% out second.
In a natural Holistic way., Edited to ensure one complies with today's PC world. |
Sort them out second? Or in a second?

An Age Concern mini bus got torched in Leicester during the riots in 2012. The standard of the rioters was pretty low as they also looted one store and that was Poundland! Sometimes there is no accounting for the lack of ambition or stupidity of some people.

Point proven by your post. It got you talking about Leicester on here. However I doubt the world leaders will miss one Air Cadet minibus and suddenly change NATO policy overnight. I'm sure they have bigger concerns. |
Air Cadets
Is this particular extension of NATO strategic power still grounded?

I do hope the police and courts use the same fast track system as they did in 2012. Riot today. Arrested, charged and in court tomorrow. In clink on remand by end of play.

Knowing Avon and Somekit police, am not holding my breath for that to happen as they will be doing their best to write off as the crime as spontaneous combustion due to mechanical fault and no crime. Crime figures....got to do everything to keep them down |
Hi
This must have taken A LOT OF PLANNING (By Blackadder) :{:{:{ |
Here is the "couragous" cnuts claim and reasons. I hope AJ can rapidly get funding for a new bus for her Sqn.

Just for you :) Note the complete lack of police cordon tape or any sign of police involvement. http://i736.photobucket.com/albums/x...CA1A7E326D.jpg You seem to know Avon and Somerset constabulary very well. On the positive side, it's not quite been a week yet so maybe its on their 'to do' list. |
This is where our Secretary of State for Defence, Michael Fallon, needs to step in immediately with an unequivocal commitment to replace the vehicle by the weekend at Public Expense. No bu99ering about with insurance claims for the ATC Squadron ... Just do it ...
If required ... Theresa May Might need to have a word with the Avon and Somerset Chief Constable ... |
Coffman, that's a nice idea.
I don't think the insurance would pay anyway as the damage was as an act of public unrest or civil disorder so wouldn't be covered (even if the policy had been fully comp, which it wasn't). As it has now made the newspapers and internet it is public as to why is was done, as opposed to a regular vehicle fire. Let's not forget the poor caretaker who had his car set on fire as well. This was a private car and not military in any way. |
BS1968 ... Even more reason for Mr Fallon to do something ...
Please do keep us informed :ok: |
