Scary to think airspace can be shut down for so long with a toy. Apparently a radicalised green party activist. It’ll be militant vegans in Waitrose next....

Why are they closing Gatwick? Maybe this explains it

OK that was a SUSPECTED drone strike Now what appears to be a proven drone strike is one against a helicopter which landed safely. Story HERE Brendan |

Hello from Aussie Zed. Corbyn?...IMHO a Leftie Lunatic. The British P.M.? Well I'm a long way from you, maybe there could be a thread about Brexit, but I believe she was "dropped into" an impossible position, not of her making, and in view of all sorts of resistance, from all sorts of places, I believe she can't win, but I don't believe it's her fault. I think she's showing tremendous strength of character,..I'm damn sure I wouldn't want to be in her position. Many people would probably say "I've had enough", & give up. Anyway, just my thoughts, I can't see what else she can do. If the EU won't meet your (U.K.) demands, what else can she do? Regards from Aussie. Pickles. |

Man and woman arrested.
No confirmation as to whether the male resides in his nan's box room or if the female is a militant psychopath vegan freedom fighter. More news to follow as the story breaks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-46657505 |

Based on the number of people effected, 120000 passengers affected I would give the two arrested if guilty an hour prison time for for each of the 120000 affected so that’s 13.9 years then then emergency services time oh just add another 12 years for good measure for that, add another 5 for the money wasted and we are at nearly 31 years perfect, no parole, no plea of dimished responsibility if you can fly a drone you know what your doing job done simples!! 2015 HT XS 90

Widow Twanky started it, no she didn't, oh yes she did...
I doubt if the woman is stupid in the dictionary sense, however, perhaps she is a little blinkered in what the electorate really wants... Click image to enlarge For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at.. http://www.youtube.com/user/conwy1 |

Suspects released without charge so the hunt continues. Now with a £50k reward for information leading to an arrest.

Well I wonder if the 'suspects' have a good lawyer lined up against the Sunday papers? I think I might be a tad upset seeing my picture splashed all over the front sheets with words like 'morons' in the headlines.

Meanwhile, Det Ch Supt Jason Tingley told Sky News officers had found a damaged drone near the airport.
He said they would be working with the "forensic opportunities that the drone presents". For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at.. http://www.youtube.com/user/conwy1 |

Just as well they don't apply guilt by association. Imagine if it related to motoring.......you live within 5 miles of an incident, you own a car, humm, must be you then
