UK: Queen’s Guard Forced To Retreat Over Threats From Islamic Terrorists…




Via Daily Mail:


Security chiefs have taken the dramatic step of withdrawing Royal Guards from their high-profile posts outside palaces amid mounting fears of ‘lone wolf’ terrorist attacks.

Elite soldiers of the Queen’s Guard have pulled back from public positions at many landmarks in response to possible threats from Islamic extremists.
For the first time since the height of the IRA’s terror campaign, the soldiers are also no longer allowed on sentry duty alone, and are now accompanied by armed police.

The move to more secure positions behind gates or railings is a direct response to attacks such as the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby and the killing of a sentry by a lone gunman at the Canadian Parliament two months ago.

But the measures have been described as a ‘retreat’ for the Guards, known the world over for their bearskin caps.
 
Where for art thou, OGGY:D



"We shall go in the end. We shall cave in the European Union, we shall allow entry by the seas and oceans, we shall permit them to come with growing confidence and growing strength by the air. We shall abandon our island whatever the cost may be.

We shall flee in towns, we shall flee in the villages, we shall withdraw from monuments and sentry boxes and be slaughtered in the streets, we shall cave in the courts. We shall ultimately surrender."

---the Common Core Winston Churchill
 
"Although there have not been any
successful terror attacks in Britain since Lee Rigby was killed outside
Woolwich Barracks in May last year, intelligence services say they have
foiled a number of plots this year."

Elite soldiers? Elite soldiers? Sounds like Sadams elite guard. Chicken shits.


Chicken shit like the FAT PIG woman Marine who cried when captured by Iran, "IM A MOMMY":mad:
 
The Brits are about half nigger these days, and no nigger in history has ever stood his ground.
 
so this means NOTHING to anyone?:confused:

No. It's a non-story. Ceremonial guards are only there for the tourists. The real guards are out of sight with loaded weapons.

The ceremonial guards, particularly at Horse Guards Parade, have had to put up with a lot of shit recently from tourists trying to get them to react as they take selfies.

Well, I see you have torn yourself from the HOTTIES:D

Yes, you may be right....BUT THAT ISNT THE POINT AT ALL...IS IT?

The point is that when there is a raised threat level, it is stupid to leave troops as obvious targets. The threat against serving personnel is real. If the nutcases/terrorists know that a soldier will be standing in one place for hours, and their locations are listed in tourist guide books - it doesn't take much brain to find the soldier.
 
well that can go one forever and only get worse

there is BUT one answer....as the ONE COMMON THREAD THRU ALL ATTACKS AND THREATS

are the same:cool:
 
Sam, England is a small country.

If a nutcase or self-starting terrorist woke up one morning thinking "I'll kill a soldier today", all he has to do is buy a knife, a train ticket to Central London, and find a ceremonial guard within an hour or so.

Cost? Less than 50 US dollars from most parts of England. If he wants to travel by coach, even less money.

There are no security checks on trains, the Underground, or coaches.

Several potential terrorists recently arrested in the UK had been planning that sort of low key attack.
