A massive security clampdown has been announced around Prestwick airport for July ahead of the G8 Summit, as details emerged of US military demands for premission to act independently of domestic security forces.
An unprecidented shut down of road, rail and air travel is being planned to accompany the arrival of G8 Summit VIPs at Prestwick airport. It was recently announced that Prestwick would become the main airport for G8 Summit arrivals, after it emerged that Edinburgh airport was too easy for protestors to blockade, despite months of security planning and preparation which saw air show events cancelled in favour of using the Edinburgh airport for the G8.
It has also emerged that the Americans want the freedom to conduct their own 'security operations', independent from the UK police and military. Similar proposals caused a storm of protest in 2003 when Bush visited London and US Security chiefs wanted to close large areas of london, place helicopter gunships above Buckingham Palace, and deploy armed agents in the crowds with their own chain of command and terms of engagement.
KEY POINTS:
- America has demanded heavy US military presence during G8 summit
- America apparently demanded US command post so it can act independently of the British police and military
- Amphibious US assault ship / aircraft carrier with Marines and Helicopters to be stationed off coast
- Military commanders concerned "no-fly" periods may halt helicopter flights from HMS Gannet, the Royal Navy rescue base
- Security Advisors want to impose "30-minute total travel exclusion periods" around Pretswick Airport and beyond
- Severe disruption of road, rail and air services throughout country expected
- "Lockdowns" could lead to 30-mile tailbacks on the M77, as the effects of the security clampdown are felt as far north as Glasgow and south into Dumfriesshire.
- Around 3000 police will man Prestwick airports 14 mile perimeter
- Security arrangements could mean trouble for RYANAIR, one of Prestwick's biggest commercial airline users
- Traffic disruption updates to be provided on Westsound local radio station

And it all comes out of your pocket

In micro aspect when I lived in Bournemouth, we had the conferences which led to armed checkpoints, increased and aggressive police activity and yet they expect US the taxpayer to pay for this rare and unique privilige.
Maybe someone should start a campaign rolling that makes these people pay for what they use out of THEIR pocket and that the people it affects are COMPENSATED for their loss of freedom and liberty.
Those millions could be better spent elsewhere but Blair is NOT listening to you, he proved that by bringing back within 24 hours two shamed ministers and promoting a third scandalous minister as Blunkett's sidekick.
When will you the British citizen begin to realise that things are BAD?
When they kick your door in?
When you are dragged to the nearest Biometric centre and enforceably databased?
When you are locked up in one of the new Gulags near London?
When you have been convicted of a "thought crime"?
When like the Germans in the 30's they have labelled you with various coloured jumpsuits in similar vein to the labelling of PU's and Jews in Nazi Germany?
When the next election comes and Blair seizes power for himself or hands it to the Bush dynasty?
When the US army are on every corner of Britain?
When the country runs out of petrol?
When the media is finally and totally under their control?
When YOU ARE DEAD because it fits their plan to depopulate the planet????
There is english reserve and there's blind apathy, stand behind the revolutionaries like George Galloway and fight the machine because the time is coming when it will be too LATE!!!
Look back to the thirties, see the pattern, look back to Stalin's era and see the pattern's, just because they tell you they aren't doing it doesn't mean that they tell the truth...!
Break the programming and start educating yourself, then educate others, resistance is NOT futile and it is what they fear... Galloway showed us something crucial, that they can be beaten, that they are in reality weak and stupid people that think only of money and power yet PEOPLE POWER is stronger, break their stranglehold!
