German men under 45 may need military approval for long stays abroad
Under the law, travel approvals must generally be granted and it remains unclear how the rule would be enforced if breached.

I live near airbases and I've seen increased movement of military vehicles in last few months, but I don't think the real threat to UK is from missiles or aircrafts but insider attacks on critical infrastructure..

I don't think insider attacks are a threat.
I mean, I can think of all kinds of evil ways to attack infrastructure, of course! It's our job to think stuff like that up - but I don't think there are any real threats in the UK that way.
The real threats to infrastructure are in plain sight: capitalists.
Capitalists decayed the waters and sewers (Thames Water). Capitalists are whoring out Scotland's electrical via their ownership of the grid. Capitalists *will* control the NHS. Tories -

Tories@adusum a lot of Reform and other right wing supporters are in skilled trades (they managed to put up all those flags involving working at height during darkness without too many of them hitting the deck and could be sabotage risk)
Pro-hunting lobby already tried sawing through a 33 000 v electricity pole a few years ago and nearly brought it down.
There may not even be attacks prompted directly by nation states, but taken as action after localised disputes, for instance in Northern Ireland following a dispute over pay at a medium sized family business someone poured petrol into the VDSL street cabinet and lit it up - a whole section of a town was without phones/broadband for 3 weeks whilst Openreach repaired it (although they can fix the effect of vehicle strikes within 1-2 weeks)

@adusum I think the real threats will come *when* the Greens start claiming more victories in local elections (which is quite likely in some places), folk will be wanting to make them look bad.
We've also already got a problem with LTE masts being burned down (ever since the various anti-5G conspiracies), which is also making telecom companies wary about putting up new ones (this is directly affecting my work colleagues as frontline staff sometimes struggle to get the care recording app to work in some areas due to bad signals). This is on top of the problems with capitalists letting the mobile network decline in reliability over the years..

@vfrmedia Not claiming that there aren't isolated instances. And I feel a little guilty for thinking that I could do them better! ;-)
But, that's just a part of pen testing.
That threat is isolated and not conserted.
Haven't read your next one yet. -

@vfrmedia So, you think false flag things will become more common in order to denigrate the Greens?

@adusum not even false flags, real attacks out of sheer anger, similar to how the ethnic restaurants and hairdressers get their windows busted in in the smaller towns (not in Ipswich where the streets are too multicultural and there's more CCTV and cops around).
the people doing stuff like this aren't even planning to "win" anything, just to make life worse for everyone else. There's not a lot of them but just one man can do a lot of damage these days..

@vfrmedia Wow. I'm not sure I have anything like that.

@vfrmedia I can only think of this idiot, drunk and young...
Skeena Mall

This evening, an individual drove a vehicle in one entrance of the mall and out the other. This individual is in police custody. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
There was significant property damage to the entrances, particularly to the west entrance near Winners.

Tiny town, so tiny mall. -

Tiny town, so tiny mall.@adusum I looked up the incident, appears to be someone who got in a fight, then decided to drive through the windows of the mall and then asked bystanders to call 911, and had two outstanding warrants from Alberta!
This doesn't happen as much in UK because nearly all shop entrances are target hardened with bollards and have been for about 30 years (this is more against ram raids and straight up bad driving than shops being specifically targeted for political reasons)

@vfrmedia Yeah, bollards are very uncommon here, because this kind of nonsense is extremely unusual.
My guess is that he was a fly-in worker, very over-paid and likely on more than just alcohol - which is enough, all by itself.
Young, fly-in workers, are often coked up, or w/e. -

The local 6th form centre has bollards on its main pathway, but they are there because by its nature such a place is going to attract new/inexperienced drivers who might easily mistake it for an entrance you could drive through..

@vfrmedia I'm trying to think of where my town has any. I think we do... I just can't think of any just now.
Certainly, no moving ones.
Edit: wait! I know. In a park, to stop people driving where they shouldn't on trails. But they are permanent posts. -

I've grown up with seeing bollards everywhere, even when I was a kid and long before I started driving - there are even more in London! I suspect they are just a cheap and effective way of keeping cars where they should be in a small country with narrow roads..

vs a crazy large country with a zillion logging roads? :-)
Could be!
