This is Britain at war, while not admitting that it is at war, or what the war is all about.
“Armed police to guard Stonehenge solstice celebration,” BBC, June 20, 2017:
Armed police will be on patrol at Stonehenge as thousands of people gather to celebrate the summer solstice.
Extra security measures have been put in place following the recent terrorist attacks in London and Manchester.
Wiltshire Police said the move was to “reassure the public that we are doing everything we can to keep them safe”.
The Pagan Federation said it “sadly accepted” the need for such security measures.
About 12,000 people attended the Neolithic site last year to mark the summer solstice, which takes place tomorrow.
Visitors will only be allowed to bring small bags with them and are urged to only bring essential items….

Nice one ?

Why they need armed police?
Is it because of right _wing ?
Multi_crap Europe is working very well
c matt says
So they will deploy armed police to protect some satanic pagan ritual, but defend Christian churches? That would be Islamophomophobic. Britain deserves its fate.
eur says
Satanic pagan ritual?
In Europe we celebrate many pre-Christian rites, for example the night of St. John in spain we jump on bonfires … the Christian and pre-Christian intermingle … there is nothing satanic … and even had it … what does it matter? In Navarre the Basques still celebrate akelarres, now it is folkloric … and? Formerly the holy Inquisition burned the pagans because they considered them satanic. Do you also call Satanic ritual to the Native American rain dance?
somehistory says
I think his point was the *protection* for rituals, but none for the churches being targeted and burned in many places.
What someone thinks is pagan may not be what another one thinks. Each one is free to think and decide whether they believe it is pagan or *satanic* or not. Some people believe that anything “pagan” is from satan.
Minutes1234 says
Islam is satanic.
Wontsayforfearofarrest says
Satanic? Paganism is the foundation of a lot of religions, for example, it is believed Christianity adopted the pagan festival dated around 25th December as the date of Jesus birth, it is also believed there is a correlation between the sun being at its lowest on the horizon for 3 days and then begins to get higher in the sky which is celebrated by pagans ( as the returning high sun brings warmer weather and in turn bring the ability to grow crops etc ) and the story of the resurrection , ie, die as after 3 days had risen again. Before you comment please get some basic knowledge of the subject matter, as we do with Islam and therefore, we have a right to comment and criticise.

Ah, life can be so wretched that people might as well celebrate anything they want (harmless celebration, of course). Indeed, humans have incorporated many celebrations from various cultures over our thousands of years of history…I think it’s rather fun…and rather needed…

No need to worry. When the Mohammadans take control of the UK, Stonehenge will be demolished like so many other national and civilizational treasures. Allah hates these man-made infidel monuments.
Simple. No Stonehenge, no guards needed. See how just and merciful Allah is to believers.
John A. Marre says
The Jihadi crowd hates pagans. And everyone who is not a member of their inhuman cult.
Tom Umland says
Love the pix – can’t stop laughing….
Lon Spector says
Maybe these animals will fly over in a little gyrocopter and and near the stones with sub
machine guns blazing. It IS a pagan festival after all.

This is the smart thing to do.

This is exactly what the government elitists want. They want a perpetually frightened and defenseless body of citizens that beg for, or at least meekly submit to, false displays of government protection anytime a hundred or more of them assemble in public.
I can see all the good little serfs lining up, submitting to body checks, scanners, pat downs and perverted gropes (just like any airport in the USA) and thanking their overlords for the beneficence of their protection. Such a body of citizens will submit to any indignity and any rule of the elite.
That is the point of all of this. It is the point of the government sponsored muslim invasion of Europe.
Brian Ball says
Exactly. Islamic Immigration is good for promoting a socialist dictatorship. They want the people unarmed, frightened and begging for government protection like a punk in a bloody prison. They are punking the people of the UK.
BLC says
At least we’ll see whether the British police are more successful at protecting the Druids than they are at protecting the Christians.
Georg says
It’s been a hot minute since the last war at Stonehenge. Fitting it takes Islam to pick up where they left off. At some point the British will realize Islam is AIDS. Or they won’t.
abad says
Mm, don’t give the UK Moslems any ideas otherwise they will destroy Stonehenge the same way they did those Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.
common sense says
Oh c’mon share the multi cultural diversity. Some of these people are the ones that openly invited the refugees. They should actually bus Muslims straight to the site to witness the solstice.
abad says
It’s not the pagans or Wiccans who scare me. They do their own thing.
Moslems, on the other hand…..attempt to force their Satanic religion down everyone’s throats.
Time for the UK to deport its Moslem population all the way back to Syria.
Matthieu Baudin says
“…The Pagan Federation said it “sadly accepted” the need for such security measures. About 12,000 people attended the Neolithic site last year to mark the summer solstice, which takes place tomorrow…”
The problem of protecting large crowds is one thing but the fact that this is a special target – unbelievers flaunting their beliefs in a mass display – shouldn’t be overlooked. As for the stone monuments themselves, they’re potential targets as well and could face the same wrath and destruction of archeological monuments displayed recently in Syria and threatened in Egypt.
Anne Smith says
Perhaps an attack on the much loved Stonehenge (whether you are a pagan or not, there is no doubt that nearly everyone in England reveres this monument) would wake England up to the danger that we all face from these invaders.
FYI says
Of course allah doesn’t like pagans or ..music(“the song of a songstress”)…or chess…or freedom of expression.
allah’s a bit odd like that.
GOD,on the other hand allows people to have the perfect freedom to choose for themselves…and is OK with music..and Chess….and freedom of expression.
Ric says
Once upon a time, there was a nation, Great Britain; it had not been conquered for a thousand years. Today, Britain sans the Great, has been conquered by a scourge but Britain, its pompous and weak-kneed Overlords refuse to admit that it has been subjugated, conquered by Islam. Sadly, the tradition, the historical sites, such as Stonehenge will be decimated by a barbarous horde, Islam. The latter will make the enemies of the past, the dreaded Hun, seem like old friends.
Churchill and those throughout the ages who fought or died for Great Britain are now turning in their graves. Let’s hope or pray that, ‘This is not the end, this is not even the beginning of the end, this is just perhaps the end of the beginning’, there is a Churchill out there who can rally this nation out of its politically correct, suicidal stupor.

Destruction by moslems? IS just blew up the Al Nouri mosque and its minaret. Totally leveled both of them.
