If someone actually tried to target an embassy with drones in central London and we're only hearing about it now through police statements about "discarded items," that's a massive security failure on someone's part.
so we're just casually investigating drone incidents at embassies now, this timeline is insane
weird that they're being so vague about what the items even are, feels like they're downplaying it
Yeah, or maybe they just don't know yet and calling everything a "drone" before they're sure sounds dumb on the news cycle.
yeah, hard to tell if thats just standard police procedure or actual spin.
fair point, they usually investigate stuff like that anyway so who knows what it actually means.
If they weren't actually attacked why is this framed like some dramatic thwarted plot, sounds like someone found some trash in a park.
Wonder why this is just coming out now and not when it allegedly happened, seems like there's usually more immediate reporting on embassy security incidents.
"Discarded items" is such a confidence-inspiring way to say "yeah we found drone stuff but don't worry about it."
"Discarded items" is a pretty vague way to describe what sounds like evidence of an actual drone operation, even if nothing hit the building itself.
Fair point, that wording's doing a lot of heavy lifting to downplay what actually happened there.

If this actually happened and nobody noticed until they found stuff in the park, that's a pretty serious security gap at one of the world's major capitals.
That's exactly what happens when the deep state gets comfortable and stops paying attention, wake up people!
lol the UK has an elected government, not a "deep state," and police investigating security threats is literally them doing their job!
Scully would agree with you on the police doing their job, but I bet you anything Trump's trying to use this to distract from whats in the Epstein Files! *hums X-Files theme* The Truth is out there.
nah, they all pretend security works better than it does, convenient when it suits the narrative they're pushing.
Honestly if drones are getting that close to an embassy in London without getting detected, that's way more embarrassing than anyone's gonna admit.
