Dunno if it's sinister, or a childish prank, but someone's looking at jail time for this. Idiots.

Someone's in a lot of trouble... If they catch them.
Wouldn't mind a drone myself.
I have noticed a lot of them while out and about... The bridges are supposedly a no fly zone... But nobody seems to either know or care. Its dronetastic doon there.

Really scuppers my day so far.
Trying to get home spent 5hrs at Gatwick this morning sat on the 0650 to Edinburgh
Then flight cancelled....
Then trooped of the plane and sent to passport control ??
“I have no passport”
Imagine the conversation!!
They then realise there are hundreds like me..
A driving license will do I’m then told.
My driving license has expired!
Imagine the next conversation!
A debacle
I hope to meet the drone flyer however I don’t think it’s drones....
Got a wee hunch when I saw the search regime that all is not quite what it seems

feel sorry for the tens of thousands of people who will be out of pocket, stuck where they don't want to be and insurance not covering trips at due to the circumstances.

I can get home but some will be stuck and won’t get flights.
Good gesture by LNER offering anybody flying to Edinburgh who has a boarding pass will get a free seat on the train from kings cross.

Imagine if Corbyn was PM and this happened. The tabloids would have his guts for garters.
How on earth can a major airport be so susceptible to this kind of disruption? No doubt the Russian hackers will be blamed before long. Or maybe it's a warning shot to show our errant politicians the brute reality of military strength like occurred at Heathrow in 1974.

Flights at Gatwick have been suspended again due to a new "suspected drone sighting".
A spokeswoman for the UK's second biggest airport said: "We are just hearing a report of another drone sighting that we are investigating.
"As we look into it we have taken the precaution of suspending flights."
Aircraft have been circling above the area as they are currently unable to land. The sighting reportedly occurred at about 17:10 GMT.
The Ministry of Defence has not confirmed the sighting but Sussex Police said its officers were investigating.

Also being reported...police are now saying there may never have been a drone.
Training exercise to see how our meek and compliant public react to post Brexit flight chaos?

The police have been made to look a bit stupid.
The army have apparently resolved the problem. (There are suspicions it might have been their drones.)
The public have been prepared for a Brexit government of emergency- with martial law optional- for 2019. Happy New Year.

TOWK,
I hope we can share a laugh in 2019.
There is a government emergency policy to deal with the backlash of Brexit/No Brexit. It is called Operation Tempera. On face value it is concerned with ensuring food and medical supplies are not blocked.
In reality, this is very serious indeed. For the army on the streets is a forerunner to the disintegration of the rule of law, and ultimately parliament. I hope to hear from you soon, before the internet is closed on grounds of Brexit security.

Apologies, that should have read 'Operation Temperem.'
Make of hast what you will. Bjut the aristocratic landowning caste, represented by Rees-Mogg, see a potential in societal breakdown. They can either pick up the scraps, after the army has interned Corbyn. or run for the hills when Corbyn comes after the tax they have not been paying for the last 40 years.

TOWK,
Probably not. The UK is a place that has allowed the aristocracy to control the land for 400 years.
If this is not addressed by the populace, then they can look forward to a Happy New Year of serfdom If you cannot control the land then you cannot claim this country back. You become a serf yelping for his master.

however I have mine doubts.

"There is a government emergency policy to deal with the backlash of Brexit/No Brexit. It is called Operation Tempera"
It's an operational deployment devised to support police in a major terrorist incident, planned before EU membership referendum.
UK Special Forces in civilian dress have already been undercover assisting with survelliance etc. at potential threat scenarios.

Are we going to get this perverse argument again that Scotland having a big deficit as part of the UK is an argument AGAINST independence? When you see the GERS figures for all the 'regions' of the UK it's quite obvious that most of the wealth of the UK is concentrated in London and the South-east of England which makes it look like they are 'subsidising' the rest of the UK. That model must be the result of government policy. An independent Scotland wouldn't be following that model.
(Not sure how a thread on drones has morphed into one on independence!).
