I'm not so sure. They don't have to meet behind closed doors like Spectre. Alliances and the sharing of objectives can be on a much looser basis and influence lots of subordinates through fear and incentive alike. Those objectives are then brought to bear on the wider public. I hope so, because it seems to me that its more like lots of people shouting loudly, whilst the rational and logical people talk quietly among themselves.

Not racist or offensive. It is quite possibly not even realistic, as its probably something we've adopted more from media culture than reality. Apparently the last words of a British Suicide bomber Majeed, were 'I'm sorry, I don't speak Arabic' (from an attack at Aleppo Prison). I included this, because its kind of perversely funny. It seems others have been 'Help Me', 'He's Not my Boyfriend' and bursting into tears (where they have been caught on camera). It may very well be that the shout of 'Allah Akhbar' is common, but personally I think 'He's not my Boyfriend' and 'I'm sorry I don't speak Arabic' are more suited to a post on politically incorrect comedy. Alans Snack bar. As I have heard on my travels and lamented on the comedy genius of squaddies, born from the hardships endured whilst on tour.

I've seen a roadside cafe' called "Breakfast at Timothy's" a chip shop called "The Almighty Cod" and a hairdresser's called "Curl up and Dye". "Alan's Snack Bar" has gone straight in as my number 1.

Maybe they should have said "Allah Akbar..... Oy Vey.... Jesus Christ... Buddah....Tom Cruise...etc" just to be 'fair'. How can anyone object to a training exercise trying to recreate a terrorist attack in Europe and making it as realistic as possible to get people accustomed to a threatening and dangerous situation and act safely? I don't know the actual statistics but as far as I'm aware the last few known terrorist attacks have all been carried out by Muslims shouting "Allah Akbar" before unleashing a hail of bullets and explosives on their innocent victims. No they're not, they highlighted the mock attack and then condemned the perpetrator (who to be fair probably thought he was being funny - f***ing pc bullocks stifling racial stereotyping...) Or are you saying that 'the Muslim communities' should condemn terrorism because the police held a training exercise? Perhaps you aren't aware that many of 'the Muslim communities ' have indeed condemned terrorist atrocities. It's just it doesn't help stoke fear and rage does it, so it doesn't get printed.

I was under the impression that this was the instruction from GMP rather than the 'perpetrator' of this simulated IS style attack throwing in a cheeky ad-lib. Bloody method actors.

You are becoming a bit of a drama queen... well... more of one if truth be told. Sometimes the best way to deal with people being unreasonable is to ignore them and let them recover from whatever tantrum or hissyfit they are experiencing. I'll do that.... and suggest others do the same. See you later Gusset, when the 'black dog' has gone maybe?
