Re: Not In The News
no worries mate it's not like i'm busy, it was actually a nice break to come in here and have a waffle. And as you probably saw I am quite passionate about the Beeb. I could write and book on those cunts. We still haven't forgiven them for allowing and paying Jimmy Saville to commit his atrocities.  |

Re: Not In The News
Okay, but that is not Western Europe. Both groups of journalists travelled to Eastern Europe (Bulgaria and Romania) to negotiate for weapons. It is absolutely a piece of cake to buy AKs around the Balkan countries, as a result of the wars there in the 90s. The reports you posted were talking about 1,500 Euros to buy one. But it's quite hard not only to import them to Western Europe (Germany and Poland are still not easy to get through for any type of smuggler) but obviously quite hard to hide them and move them around. The price for an AK in the Netherlands when I lived there until 2023 was getting closer to 5 thousand and the availability... well it was like trying to buy a litre of LSD, not everyone could buy one, you really had to have good connections. Compare that to illegal handguns which you could get for hundreds rather than thousands, meant most people in W. Europe arm themselves with handguns. Plus the prison sentence is far higher for a full auto rifle usually. Yeah they were around, many drug dealers were taken out with AKs in and around Amsterdam. I think it was about 7 or 8 people in the 22 years I lived there, with that weapon alone. But like I said they are a bit like gold dust so were not used in town centre shootouts but in targeted assassinations, close up and personal. To reiterate, the only times I can recall of there ever being multiple shooters with AKs firing in a public place in Europe were Islamic State terrorist attacks. I'm not arguing that this was definitely terrorism at the station, but it bears such striking similarities with those events that I feel it is a matter of grave concern and warranted far more press attention than it was given. Just like the Southport attacks (a Welsh choirboy did it, we were told, not a ricin-producing Rwandan Al Qaeda fanatic) many of us here feel it this station attack is deliberately being downplayed in order to avoid civil unrest such as the riots which engulfed the UK last year. So I am standing my ground on what I have said so far on the matter. Thanks for posting the info and engaging me on the topic, as this is how we find the real truth in life, by putting our heads together and working it out.  |

Re: Not In The News
You might find it offensive, I can't change that but I despise the BBC and I believe in equal rights for all people in Britain. Not that one group is treated worse or more favourably because of their religion. If you on the other hand think there is one nationality or religion that are scum then that is bigotry of a form, and it is as ridiculous as saying 'I hate everyone from Such-a-land because they are all racists'.

Re: Not In The News
Weapons are often smuggled as part of multi-commodity shipments or hidden in vehicles. This is similar to how drugs are smuggled, examples being cocaine concealed in construction material or fruit shipments, or heroin in hidden compartments in vehicles. Drug traffickers still utilise the ancient Silk Road network of routes to bring heroin to the EU market. Migrant smuggling activities are also intense in these areas. As an important logistical hub, the Balkan route sees thousands of trucks entering the EU with different goods, including food and construction material. National authorities focused therefore on major entry points. An example is Europe’s biggest land entry point - Bulgaria’s Kapitan Andreevo checkpoint at the border with Turkiye - which sees about 1 500 trucks with different goods enter the EU every day. As criminal networks are highly international, their supply chain and markets affect multiple countries and pose a threat to the EU as a whole. Europol’s EU SOCTA 2021 outlines that 80% of the criminal networks active in the EU use legal structures to facilitate their criminal activities. https://www.europol.europa.eu/media-...g-balkan-route |
