“Wherever there's been an intelligence-led operation to thwart a terrorist attack, there's been a cover story.”

Security expert Mark Urban suggests that both the farmer’s tip-off and a covert intelligence-led operation could be true, but we’ll likely never know to protect the UK’s security interests.

Mark Urban was speaking to Hugo Rifkind on Times Radio. Listen live every Monday-Thursday from 10am-1pm.

Looks like MI5 and Mossad forgot to brief the local cops and nosy neighbors first. Police showed up to a random call and completely ruined their plan. Classic 😂

This is the strangest 'terrorist' incident ever,never heard of terror suspects being bailed in such a short space of time,all rather odd.

I don't understand why a group of "dodgy geezers" are arrested on Terrorism charges & released the following day,, surely they should be detained until charged, 😮

The government says don't speculate. Then feed us little bits and pieces. Cover up being prepared

So the scum bags were released from custody before local residents could return home! Seems quite backward!

Nobody trusts the official story. We have lost all confidence in the system.

"If Trump is right" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this video.

Andrew Bridgen said only a few days prior to the “incident”that he had an impeccable information of an impending False Flag attack in the UK.

Always remember that Trump is not a source. "We were working with" was a case of his taking credit for something that he may have had nothing at all to do with. The intelligence people in the UK are real intelligence people. They are likely the place where the whole story should be focused.
