Appalling but eminently predictable - one would have thought. Drones have always worried me.

Christmas at Gatwick; my idea of hell! I have gone so off air travel since my beloved Concorde died; I used to love leaving my bedroom in London at 8.00am and stepping into my bedroom in New York - at 8.00am! These days the entire air journey is SO unpleasant.

Worries me to, especially as I am flying into there tomorrow.
It would appear plod are very good at framing the innocent,but not so alert at doing a real job of detection.

Where is mark when you need him ?

Meanwhile Parliament goes into spasms about whether someone mouthed Stupid Woman. Definition of stupid - priorities all wrong; Brexit; letting drones seize up travel...

Drone technology has grown dramatically in recent years.

The highly sophisticated ones are flown remotely from Nevada and can release weapons accurately, to within one metre of target.

The target can be anywhere on earth - including Afghanistan, Syria and Hyde Park. But, it isn't only the Americans who have the ability.

It may well be that the perpetrators of this long and seemingly well planned episode are an organisation/country - flexing their muscles.

So far this apparent capability has only produced commercial damage, as well as personal inconvenience.


Instead of a chap - operating his new Christmas present - from nearby Crawley, as has been suggested.

Quick blame Brexit

No I blame British Police and the government for getting priorities wrong; cyber and other new technology areas should have been high priorities for years and you'll guess which fake news areas should not have been allowed to dominate priorities and budgets.

Oh but cyber crime has been a high priority for years. The only trouble is it's been one specific type of cyber crime: That of "evil cis gendered white males" who can't get girlfriends fapping off to child porn as a substitute. Clearly they are much more dangerous than potential drone attacks as, using the power of voodoo, the girl that they are fapping off to might get an orgasm for every bloke that faps off to her. So if lots of blokes fap off to her she will get a mega orgasm which could potentially create a black hole and destroy the whole planet. Gulp, thank God the police are catching those god damn paedophiles!
