I've counted 14 fire-engines in that video and god knows how many police vehicles, etc...

Is this really neccessary? Christ sake, 14 fire engines?!!? ...and I probably missed a couple.

They'd probably been called away from a "cow stuck in mud" incident

If it wasn't described as liquid I would have gone with a McDonalds Apple Pie as the contents are usual thermo-nuclear hot.

My mate reckons its all a big practice for the Olympics..

Could be right - esp. choosing the Toll to shut for the day that no-one will pay for anyway

And DCI.... omg DAAYYYMMMMM!!

It was a fuss over nothing, but a number of terror suspect were arrested today in a separate operation. No surprise about their religion although this was only mentioned in the small print, why are the media trying to suppress this info?

It is mentioned in the third paragraph of the report I read... or would you like it emblazoned across the headline in flashing neon effect?

I wouldn't worry about it,only small number of vehicles appear to use the toll,Most still seem to want to crawl through the road works and congestion on the toll free M6...

Smoking liquid eh ....Did one of them passengers have a steaming hot curry last night..

When we used to arrest IRA suspects it was '2 IRA suspects arrested'. Now we are under attack from Jihadists it is '2 people arrested'. The common denominator with all these terror suspects is Islam/Jihad, yet somehow it is deliberately not mentioned, as if the Islam/Jihad is incidental and random which it is manifestly not.

First they were 'Muslim terrorists', then 'anti-Muslim terrorists (yes the bbc made that up), then 'AQ-Sympathisers', now they are just 'terrorists' apparently with no ideological commitments.

That's what I said in an earlier thread........and got shouted down.

How can anyone believe, with the problems now facing the travelling public and the amount having to be spent, how can anyone believe that we are winning?

On the plus side it closed the M6 Toll.

Hopefully they lost a few quid on that day so its operators will go bump sooner

edit: £41million loss in 2011 financial year ...they've never turned a profit on the balance sheets since it opened
