What surprised me is that they actually stopped for a single individual. If they are wiling to do that, then they've just highlighted an interesting attack vector to get to the PM. That moment is enough.

That is really poor skills and drills. The "principal's" car is completely sandwiched and unable to move - perfect for a second attacker to approach with a suicide bomb or other.

not sure why there is just one bike in front? I would prefer something with a bit more weight to push "stuff" (other vehicles, barriers/people) out of the way for the principal's vehicle to manoeuvre away from the danger zone.

Either way it's a debrief "sans cafe" for someone! Whistle

intersting to see what changes they bring in ...... Embarassed

You're right - watching it again - it's the bike that stops as people approach him - that causes the Jag to pull up sharply but the first RR fails to notice.

It's such a shame to see a frankly laughable lapse in security, where the hell is the training?

It's the kind of thing that China or Kim Jong or whoever evils will be pouring over all the camera angles and looking to exploit.

That XJ is fully armoured. Look how low it sits and look at the window apertures. Mrs May had it from when she was Home Secretary. I once made the mistake of taking a car nerds interest in it when parked outside somewhere she was speaking. A very polite armed copper told me to do one.

Can't say I've ever seen an armoured xj in the car park when I was there.

I'm not sure how obvious they are, but lots of places seem to say the PM's car is an XJ Sentinel....

I was referring to it behind TMs car when she was Home Secretary.

It’s hard to understand why we waste this level of security on an individual like Boris Johnson Rolling Eyes

It’s the holder of the office that gets the security, no matter the personal character of the incumbent.

Shortly after it was launched, TM was photographed next to a new XJ outside Downing Street, with the caption making the point that it was being loaned to the Govt car pool to test suitability.

She did also use a 7 series, as did other ministers, which to a West Midlander like me was annoying...
