oldypigeonpopper Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Hello, as above begs the question which WALLY in Government decided Cornwall was the must be place, apart from the cost for the extra 3000 extra Police officers , do you think the local people had any say ? apart from the extra pasty's needed, 🤔😁 Note it's gone up on police numbers 5000, and just heard all the local residents do not like this 👍 Edited June 11, 2021 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Would have needed a fair few grockle - who have jumped on an aeroplane and gone elsewhere anyway - to earn the £65m legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Why Cornwall? The UK is hosting the summit as president of the G7 for the year, and Carbis Bay has been chosen as the venue. Prime Minister Boris Johnson described it as the "perfect location for such a crucial summit". "Two-hundred years ago Cornwall's tin and copper mines were at the heart of the UK's industrial revolution and this summer Cornwall will again be the nucleus of great global change and advancement," he added. It's hoped having the meeting there will also help boost tourism in the region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 As Wymberley states, the £65m legacy will help a lot of the local businesses. The extra Police would have been required where-ever it was held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has limited roads in and out making it easier to secure for such as important event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any road can be made secure, I am not saying it's not an important event but this area of Cornwall is not the place to hold this, they don't have very good facilities for those who live there, let alone those on holiday, 26 minutes ago, Smokersmith said: Why Cornwall?

wymberley Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Are you sure that you've got the right Cornwall? There is an RAF airfield near St Ives and being a MDA has a runway which can take anything the Americans wish to land on it. I do think that you have the place confused. Cornwall is a dead end and you may well get in but you have to get out the same way. That could be a tad iffy. The only facilities the County does not have is affordable housing for its local folk because the countless incomers who know what's good for them have put the property prices up out of their reach - purchase or rent.

CaptC Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Spot on wymberley! G7's impact on Cornwall will be negative and is at present very detrimental to locals and local trade. My daughter is an occupational therapist and had to deliver a special bed to a patient in Cardboard Bay - despite the correct security being provided the vehicle containing the bed was refused entry to "The Ring of Steel" - they had to park in a supermarket car park half a mile away and push the bed (or rather, as it was downhill hold back the bed) to the patient's house. B & B's empty and shops and cafes closed. The skies have been full of aircraft for a good week before the event, VIP's transported by helicopter everywhere - so much for the environment!! Too risky to drive in convoy on our Cornish lanes as it would be nigh impossible to give protection ergo bring out the helicopters! Utter stupidity concocted by a narcistic fantasist and his new wife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look here if you're interested: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-5.7/centery:50.9/zoom:8 Somewhat frustratingly there's several of our patrol boats just offshore protecting the G7 rather than patrolling our coasts.

Very interesting! There is a ground to air missile parked up at Godrevy (opposite coast to Cardboard Bay) if that's any good? I'm sure it can be adapted for surface use?

Even when G7 is over those boats will probably sail up the channel to perform their meet and greet duties in order to help Macron get rid of his immigrants.

JohnfromUK Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 G7 (in alphabetical order): Canada France Germany Italy Japan UK USA That makes 7. So why is Ursula van den Leyen there? Either the EU is represented by the EU - or the countries (in this case France, Germany, Italy) by their own people. Why both? (I know Juncker used to go but I thought that was for the free booze).
