Droning on.....

I was a bit late tuning in to the PM programme on Radio 4 and because of Brexit had basically been avoiding the news, so bored of it I am. However there is a problem with someone operating a drone deliberately at Gatwick Airport which has prevented planes from taking off all day.

Whoever the presenter was interviewing suggested that this wouldn't last 5 minutes at Tel Aviv airport, the Israeli military would have put a firm stop to it. The authorities state this is not a "terrorist" incident. It should be treated as such and the perpetrator sent to jail for a long time.

This incident shows how far this country is from being able to deal with such threats. What if this had been a real terrorist threat and not some oik having a laugh, which is not funny for the thousands of people who will now have difficulty getting where they need to be for Christmas.

Just shoot the bloody thing down.

The only thing that isn't droning is our politicians who have all buggered off for their Christmas break leaving the country in a mess as we countdown to Brexit. Talk about brinkmanship. It's almost like playing "chicken" except it's us that will get hurt by the fallout.

It's always the innocent that suffer.
