Typhoon jets scrambled from Lincolnshire to intercept a Russian plane that refused to divert..could have been a terrorist situation yet the BBC didn't think it important enough to even MENTION the incident on the six o clock news..on a scale of uselessness the BBC must rate -10.

BBC says it's Lithuanian, Sky says it's Latvian, Reuters say it's Russian and one scared, middle-aged Tory decides it must therefore be Ukrainian.

Particularly insightful coverage from Sky News.

Studio: "How did the jets manage tell the plane to land at stansted if its communications were down?"

Reporter: "They can fly close...and wave to the pilot"

Lionel Blair was in the plane to mimic the actions

They're in nato - so Obama would have to nuke us (unless we self-nuked in a pre-emptive strike)
