Anybody else think this is a lot more serious than we are being told ?
It’s ridiculous that we are being told that one of the busiest airports in the world has been shut now for over 24 hours, probably costing millions, because of a drone being flown around !
Come on FFS give the British public some credit and tell us some facts !!

That was 8 days ago. Today's news says different. Whatever happens i did like that idea.
Just shown that on TV. Looked like a piece of piss for the bird. Just grabbed it and landed with it.

Did the basket ride, loved the espetada, fish market and botanical gardens
Loved the botanical gardens and the Fish Market, those Espada taste a lot better than they look ! We saw the basket ride looked great fun but I think we were too late in the day for a ride when we went up to the gardens.
We just need to find a way of convincing seagulls that the drones are carrying a chip. The things would be destroyed as soon as it took to the air.
Its like Brexit, mate. Nobody knows anything.

Now we can’t even emigrate from this god forsaken nation, as the airports are blocked.
You don’t get titting around like this in decisive countries such as Qatar, Russia and Turkey. The drones would’ve been blown out of the sky and anyone possibly behind it would have been summarily dealt with by now.
Watch out, David Attenborough. Worthingseagull is coming to get you!!!

I'm guessing but I'm starting to wonder if this is some kind of ransom demand, pay £x and we'll stop. Obviously (and rightly) the UK Gov will never do that. This has gone on too long to be a 'prank'.
Exactly.
I'd blow the whole of Crawley the shit up, too, frankly. Teeming with Islamists and dole-scum.

They mentioned tonight on the BBC news that they are following a line of enquiry that it might be anti-Gatwick protesters behind the disruption.

A whole 17 minutes of BBC News at 10 on Gatwick!! Unprecedented.
Austerity not reached Borneo?
You have lost me there LV. Do you think all this sitting around while people bugger about with drones is bollocks, or that my comment is bollocks
Or Both?
Your post is bang on.
