@dan7heman Presumably when bomb disposal actuality got into the vans, there weren’t any bombs.

@Simon_Nixon @aunty_shirley The sofa would be far more likely to burn than the heating oil…

[Nick @Exitus87]

@Simon_Nixon That’s not what they said: no viable explosives were found, ie. No explosives!

[Nick @Exitus87]

@benonwine Reading comprehension… the police didn’t say ‘non-viable explosives were found’, they said ‘no viable explosives were found’, ie. No explosives!

[Nick @Exitus87]

@parmenidesfan @JacobL1994_ No such thing as paid bail in the uk.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@hopskipjumpy @AnthonyGlees @MarkUrban01 Yup. Cheese is not a viable explosive. Could literally be anything.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@Hazzreid What makes you say they were violent terrorists? All we actually know at this stage is that they were 5 blokes with a few vans filled with plastic barrels.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@DrChrisParry Not really. Very little info has been released publicly, then the usual suspects have gone mad with the speculation.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@DefyTL @aziz0nomics No such thing as paid bail in the uk.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@justforx8985828 @v_j_freeman And I’m sure it will be once the investigation is actually complete.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@colone1flanders @thinkdefence Presumably because there are indications of a plot, which is why they’ve come down so hard and fast on this. They’ve then realised it’s not what they were expecting, and there is still a plot out there - probably now on the back burner!

[Nick @Exitus87]

@thinkdefence So much pointless speculation. People really just need to learn to be patient.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@ORCHATERv2 @Junglethc420 The government didn’t claim that. Rampant speculation on socials did. Sounds like counter terror police investigated as it looked suspicious, and have now found that they weren’t terrorists all along.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@d5_rss Are you actually British? Surely if you are you would know that we don’t pay bail in the UK?!

[Nick @Exitus87]

And this is why police always encourage people not to speculate. Presumably no bombs found in the vans, no terror plotting discovered, so now released on bail. Fuel thieves?

[Nick @Exitus87]

@justforx8985828 @v_j_freeman And we trust a single thing Trump says?!?

[Nick @Exitus87]

@neville69517190 @ProxyMoron22 @sarahadams My guess is fuel thieves nicking red diesel from farms. So still being investigated for that, but no bombs or plot.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@davidparry100 So presumably the police don’t think they were terrorists anymore. No bombs found. Fuel thieves?

[Nick @Exitus87]

@HardPass4 Presumably they found no bombs in the vans. Fuel thieves most likely. No real need to speak to the farmer.

[Nick @Exitus87]

@WalkerMarcus Presumably having investigated, they are now sure? No bombs in the vans, just fuel thieves.
