I think he would get more coverage like jacko if he had his daughter up there with him

TBH You can understand his grievances, but a completely wrong way to gather support. People stuck in traffic jams are just not the best judge of characters, in fact a dead person in a car causing a tailback seems to get the same amount of sympathy these days.

15 mile tailback! Cars are what, 12-15 feet? And four lanes (or is it 6 round there?) That's a lot of cars and will only get worse as the afternoon goes on.

Thousands of families and businesses disrupted, what a tool.

<tree hugger> and what about the environmental cost!!

Because if he falls or jumps in front of a car then it'll be the police's fault for not closing the road when they knew he was there

If he falls then he deserves to die for being a dick. People need to start taking responsibility for their actions. It really annoys me that these attention seeker people always get the attention they want.
He simply should have been ignored.

Bollox to that - he should have been shot down and left by the side of the road as an example to others !

You people always complicate things.

Nailgun.

Simple solution - he can't fall off while nailed to the gantry. Of course there could be an issue with decompostion, but they could pull him down in the wee hours of Sunday morning

Was it just me or did anyone notice that on the BBC news site they started a 'Have your say' on this and after a few hours it disappeared?

I wonder why?

I just hope they guy realizes how selfish he was and say he is sorry. It would help F4J no end.

The real problem is the police shutting the roads down for 19 hours if a ******* rabbit gets run over these days
