Raoul Moat

For the benefit of anyone who's not been watching the news this evening,
police are in an armed standoff with the killer in Rothbury. He's got a
shotgun pointing at his neck and asked for food.

And now Gazza's turned up, with a bucket of chicken, some lager, a
blanket and a fishing rod, claiming he's a good friend of Moat.

Honestly, this is the best Friday night's tv I've ever seen.

 

Reality TV , you couldnt write the script.

 

Too right.

I've had a Chinese takeaway and a couple of cans of lager and now I'm
waiting for the action to start.

I wonder if we could get one of the ukrm gingas to go and speak to him
in a gesture of solidarity?

 

Something to amuse you while you wait:

It's hysterical. I really should be catching up on my sleep but some
of the interviews are just comedy gold.

 

it's seriously beyond "couldn't make it up territory".

Fantastic.

 

He was on Sky News just now, sounding absolutely cunted.

 

There's a fucking huge downside though. The patronising, haggis bashing,
drunk diving, porridge wog ****.

 

Odds on he tops himself anyway.

 

It would save us taxpayers a deal of money.

 

Your wish was answered ...

 

I wonder if Gazza's appearance in Rothbury was a factor

 

No bad thing.

 

It just strikes me as being such a waste when people do that kind of
thing.

 

It certainly simplifies things . . .

It was amazing how much it hit the news here. It was lead story on ABC
Radio National for quite a while.

Obviously there was quite a bit of passion about it over there? And it
caught my attention as I lived in northern England for a while.

 

Well said.

I also wondered exactly how well trained the 'special, expert
negotiators' were .. and what they were trained in .. 6 hours and he
still manages to top himself!

Mind, when they're dealing with a nutjob I guess most bets are off ..

 

Saved us a few million that it would have cost to keep the **** locked
up in high security for the rest of his life.

<shrug>

 

As if.

 

And (thankfully) I missed the entire thing. This thread is all I know
about last night's events.
