Looking at his profile on Facebook, he's taken his son to places usually used by infantry / special forces for training .. in the breacon beacons pen y fan, he's been camping and wrapped some mess tins in bags , and also has a post showing the motto of the United Kingdom ..


I'd say he's definitely an ex soldier , what kind of soldier could be the reason this is still going on longer than it should have .. I know it sounds Hollywood but just saying what I see

Worrying if he does have guns himself.

Hopefully he gets talked round.

If you look at his profile he does "British Army" in his work history. From 2007 it says.

Really interesting information coming out if true. Particularly in the light of the Alfie case. Allegedly he’s saying the kid doesn’t want to go home cause he’s being badly treated or worse. What a hard situation to deal with for all concerned

If that’s the case he’s done the worst possible thing. More likely he loses contact now. Assuming he stays out of prison.

I get that and I think on balance I completely agree. Just interesting that everyone was saying if it was their grandchild they would have taken him and not let him go

Yeah I get it, if my daughter was actually being harmed there's a difference between not letting her go back and a full on armed seige.

That sort of thinking though can drive people to do mad stuff, when it comes to their kids I am pretty sure even the most calm, friendly people could show a completely different side.

They've extended it? I would like to know the logic behind whats has driven that. It can't be intel on explosives otherwise they would evacuate as well.

You're better off camping out in City Arms though, by the sounds of it.

It will be how close that last cordon allowed people to be to an armed officer. Within 10 metres. And there was loads of press knocking about. Full view of the house as well. Now they are out the way down by the library.

Good man, it's a working man's right to turn obstructions into an opportunity to go for a pint. I did it nearly every day when commuting back from Leeds with so many delayed trains

Whatever happens, and obviously we all hope and prey the babbie comes out unharmed (although this can’t be good for him mentally), it’s safe to say the guy will be seeing the inside of some sort of cell.
