Britain is seemingly defenceless against Hovering Meccano

Probably eco-protestors.

Or Islamic terrorists who have found a way to cause more disruption than a bomb in terminal one, and without the hassle of finding someone who knows how to make a bomb.

Or Russians on a dry run for the next Salisbury.

Or Israelis looking to sell their anti-drone technology.

Or Luton Airport, looking to pick up the extra business from Gatwick.

Could be anyone, really.

Or a 15 year old geek who doesn't watch the news

Soft Britain now a target for anyone who fancies chancing their arm.

Thirty years of putting the Human Rights of Criminals above those of the law-abiding public has led to the anarchy we are seeing from day to day. Whether it's Islamic Terror, Industrial Scale Rape Gangs, Knife/Gun Crime in London, the criminals know that Soft Britain will do its very best to excuse or overlook both the criminality and the source of the threat. 

There's also a reported situation developing in the Channel whereby thugs stowed away on board a vessel heading for the UK have threatened the ship's crew, and demanded to be taken to Britain.  If the thugs can wait until they get a few hundred yards or so off the coast, then jump in the water, the Coastal 'Rescue' services will surely pick them up and give them a safe passage to the Land of Milk and Honey.

Same rich kids that did that runway protest a while ago and didnt get a sentence.

BREAKING 30,000,000mg of viagra to be airdropped into "soft britain"

As stated on other thread,  can only be a matter of time till they are widely use to carry out  attacks by Some people ..

A device that be be flown anywhere and be used to remotely Drop other Devices ,I cant think who would use them  ?

Probably Mo from next door.

Of course it could be the Authorities realising what Might happen ,who have decided to fook up Peoples Xmass in a Big way.
In order to bring such things to the Nations attention ..

And then get a Few laws swiftly passed

Or them

Hard to believe some rsole with a remote control and as Alun said A Meccano Set , can shut an airport down for so long , Something wrong somewhere

Has it been proven to be meccano?

Silly question, sorry. MECCA-no. Obvious really.

first pic of miscreant just arrested

I was at a Fireworks Party This Year , A massive Drone appeared in the Sky and Then just hovvered a few Hundred feet above the Event , It was scarey tbh Lights Flashing etc ,couple of thousand people ,Imagine it dropped a couple of bombs

They need banning how they do that ,I dont know , but let's just say there are literally hundreds of Venues Every Saturday
afternoon that such attacks could Cause serious Damage and loss of Life

What a world we Live in ..

Agree to some extent but what you just described sounds more like close encounters of the 3rd kind.

America was making flying saucers in the 50s; they put a man on the moon in 1969. 50 years later this country can't catch an Airfix toy.

When I was a kid I used to dream about having this sort of technology, also having a watch that does the sort of stuff that our smartphones do, but now it's actually here I find that I can't really be arsed with it.

e always want more, mouse

2 arrests No doubt a young Scientist and an Engineer , Either that or Two chaps in Banstead, A local assylum .

the girl reading the news on BBC mentioned "gender" It can't be; can it?

Does the "drone" have a gender ? Well according to the germans. It's a new word.
Not sure. Feminine I think?

Have to laugh, who decides that.
"Ja, we are the german gender deciders. Today, Just Checking invented
the Rubicss Octagon. It's like he Rubics Cube, but totally sh1t, and
nobody wants to buy it. It has a fluffy pony on one side, and the other side
is a picture of Tommy charging a trench while swigging beer.
What gender is this?"

One of the arrested is female. Gender confirmus; maybe

Hope the feckers are detained without bail over the Christmas and New Year period.

Man and Woman 54 and 47

I expect these 2 will have a very eventful 2019 when they are named. I would think some of those delayed live in the same area as they do..

once the on line bullying and the confrontations in the streets we will soon have complaints and thus

the DRONAPHOBIA will start!!   we all have the collection of phobias and this can be added to them

arsenal one up!!

I realize this is worrying Just Checking, so I'm happy to confirm that the Germans use the feminine word eine Drohne for a Gatwick-style drone.

They have two words for the bees inside a hive: ein Drohn (masculine) for the males (what we call a drone, the ones whose sole purpose is to fertilize the queen, and then drop dead as their kn0b gets torn off in the process); and eine Drohne (feminine) for what we call a worker bee - the ones that fly around, gathering nectar and stinging people.

Presumably because their behaviour is closer to that of the female worker bee than a male drone, these aircraft have been named after the females - eine Drohne.

If anyone's concerned about this country's reputation abroad following the Gatwick incident, fear not. The German press has mostly ignored it: they're filled with stories about their current wave of rail strikes, and the forthcoming wave of airport strikes. And the surprising news that fewer migrants are returning home than was expected.

"And the surprising news that fewer migrants are returning home than was expected."
Are they planning a new year party in Koln to celebrate??

And lo, it continued in 2019
