SECRET Service spooks are disguising themselves as FARMERS to protect Barack Obama from terrorist threats at the G8 summit.

They have even bought a fleet of TRACTORS ahead of the US President’s arrival in Northern Ireland tomorrow for the two-day meeting.

The agents’ plan is to pose as local farmers in the sprawling fields around the five-star lakeside hotel complex hosting the huge event.

But locals near the Lough Erne resort reckon it will not take any potential terrorists long to spot the spooks — as their sparkling tractors are all brand new.

G8 US Secret Service 'farmers' Incognito ... how spook might lookOne said: “They reckon the vehicles will let them patrol the fields around the hotel unnoticed — but they’ll stick out like sore thumbs.

“It’s comedy gold really, like something out of Father Ted.”

More than 200 US Secret Service agents — with special diplomatic immunity to shoot anyone they suspect of being a threat — will be protecting Mr Obama during his visit to Co Fermanagh.

Special forces units from the US Navy Seals — some said to be drawn from the team that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 — will patrol the waters of Lough Erne.

A six-doctor medical crew will also accompany the President, who is due to touch down in the Presidential jet Air Force One in Belfast tomorrow morning.

From there, he will be whisked away to the venue in his £1million bomb-proof Cadillac.

Dubbed “The Beast”, it has 8in-thick armour-plating on its doors, puncture-resistant tyres and tear-gas cannon.

Crack British SAS troops will also be at the summit to guard PM David Cameron, Russia’s Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and France’s Francois Hollande, along with other world leaders.

And there will be a huge police presence. Around 4,000 officers have been drafted in from across the UK to bolster the 5,000 cops from Northern Ireland on duty.

An anti-summit rally attended by around 1,500 people passed off peacefully in Belfast yesterday — although police had to step in to prevent a potential clash with Union flag protesters.

Anybody on a tractor in a dark suit is going to look out of place.

Don't forget the black shades and the ear piece.
And the non-red hair.

Couldn’t post it while at work.

Here is the rather nice looking old MF 35.

I would be for all this money spent on these vacations to build this tractor from MASK the cartoon.

For whatever reason the image failed to load. Usually doesn’t happen.
