Seems some airport down the smoke has been shut for a long time now with thousands upon thousands of customers stuck and unable to leave or arrive. Seems the police can’t locate those who are operating this/these drones. If this isn’t an act of terrorism, I’ll lay odds the bad fellows are watching with interest and taking careful notes for the future.
If I’ve got this right, the police, special branch and, I assume all our national security agencies, can’t seem able to stop a model aeroplane – for that is wot it basically is – being flown over an airport and shutting it down? No wonder they struggle to stop folk getting blown-up here.
Anyhoo, it’s Christmas, almost, so let’s have a wonderfully festive number to get that family party started.

Don't watch normal telly so haven't a clue about the airport saga.
However, a drone doesn't fly that high, wots to stops a couple of good blasts of heavy shot from a twelve bore from bringing the offending thing down, if the old bill can't hit it get some game shooters or clay pigeon lads down in their wax jackets flat caps and green wellies, they'll make short work of the bloody things.
If they can't down a toy, it makes one worry what they won't be able to do should the bad guys get control of something a bit heavier.

Judd,
So true and makes you wonder if there was more afoot. Standby for a raft of new laws on top of existing laws.
We’re one of the most surveilled countries in the world and the police have drones do they not? First sighting, get ‘em round the airport, launch and track it back to ‘base’ or just knock it out with a police drone.
If there was nothing else to it, other than a nutter with a drone, it sure has exposed our ‘security’ forces unpreparedness for events other than dogs doing naughty salutes...
