Presumably that only affects remote controlled drones, not autonomous ones.
It appears that the question 'what happens if commercial aircraft use brute force, i.e. go ahead and be prepared occasionally to smash a drone to bits' was answered by an unplanned experiment a week ago
Lots of countryside around Gatwick to do the recovery and recharging without being spotted. This has got to be a deliberate protest; whoever it was ran it throughout the night and today is the busiest travelling day for the Xmas getaway
It will be environmentalists stopping emissions.
Or it could be a trial run for something more sinister. Airplanes grounded. The police diverted looking for the drone operator. Meanwhile, hundreds, thousands of people are trapped inside an airport and anyone can just turn up and ..... well, use your imagination.
Err...why would you need a trial run? I hope you are not the only one with such a thought.
So do I. But I am assuming those with sinister intentions do some form of reconnaissance and planning.
Anyway it doesn’t bear thinking about.
In more joyful news I have just been given as a Xmas surprise tickets to the Olympia Horse Show this evening so I shall be quaffing champagne and watching horse dancing and jumping and there is some stuff going on with dogs too. Sounds wonderful! I am a sucker for horse shows and agricultural shows and stuff like that.
In the same spirit as cyclefree's vulgar boasting, I'd like to announce that I've just won an award, my first for novel writing. I can't tell you what it as there is a media embargo (really) but I can say it's quite a rubbish award which you get JUST for selling squillions of copies and yet it is a big thing in the the industry, and it's better than the Nobel for the good reason that I have won this, rather than the Nobel
So from now on I can call myself "award winning author S K Tremayne", and if Mr Exton, my old Art teacher is reading, the man who said I was rubbish and rightly predicted I would get a U meaning my art was so bad it was unclassifiable, I'd like to say hahahahahahahahahaha and uhm sorry about your death.

Yes, that was another highlight in my illustrious career - an award for the worst sex scene in British fiction in the previous year, and up until now has been my most cherished moment: a career peak.
But this new rubbish award is for a complete work of fiction. A novel in itself. So it's even greater. I shall buy extra champagne for Chrimbo, after all it's our last go at the French stuff.
We're gonna be drinking English fizz after March 29.
Well done on your award!
English fizz will of course run out very soon after March 29 so enjoy it while you can.

I mean, I can't imagine the ability of boobs to barrel-roll would make them any more convenient for their intended evolutionary purposes, and you'd just have to spend time greasing your axles after every shower. Inconvenient.
Actually, that reminds me of one of my favourite evolutionary biology thought experiments: what would it take for a species to evolve wheels?
Me neither, though I've never known them to barrell roll. A PB breastxpert needs to weigh in, I think.
Of course we can't rule out the possibility that the distinguished author's confusion relates to how barrels behave when rolled, rather than to the dynamics of boob kinetics.

Does anyone understand Andrea Leadsom's plan for a managed No Deal?
Apparently it still involves negotiating a deal with a transition period, but presumably no backstop? Is she suggesting we should give up anything in return for the EU giving up the backstop? If not, why should the EU agree to her "No Deal Deal"?
Does she understand that this isn't really no deal, is it?
If and when they catch the culprits the punishments will have to be obscene and draconian, to discourage les autres.
It would have to be. Bad luck boys, I know it was just a harmless jape to you, but for sound jurisprudential and political reasons, I'm afraid we're going to imprison you for an unreasonably lengthy time period more usually associated with serious sexual offences.
Nothing personal, but you have to be seen to suffer.
As others have said, imagine what a concerted attack could do. Cripple the country in a few days.

Sussex police are claiming these aren't OTS kiddie kit but "industrial" drones (whatever that means). I wonder if this is a practice run for March 30th when the roads to the ports start jamming up and air is the only way to get vital supplies into the UK.

Once May’s deal is defeated, she can’t possibly stay and no one in the Tory Party would want her to. She would face a proper VNOC from Labour then, which she’d probably win but she would then be the news rather than policy which would be a massive distraction.

Pre FTPA, if the finance bill was amended, it was considered a confidence issue. Post-FTPA, it's not a confidence issue, so it's possible for a government to end up in the epistemologically nebulous space of having confidence, but no supply. Labour and the DUP already forced several amendments to this finance bill, that by historical convention would have been fatal.
After Brexit shakes out, the FTPA is gonna need some serious bodywork.

Bet this turns out to be more than kids.
One of my mates is big into drones and RC planes, and he's said that it's very hard to get drones that will fly for more than an hour without the battery needing to be replaced, and the batteries are several hundred quid a pop. Which means it's either a group who's spent £5000+ and stayed up through the night, or a foreign actor. My bet is on greencepeace and the like.

I actually have a copy of the book in question, purchased from a charity shop about ten years ago! I really quite enjoyed it. Swaggering prose, even back then.
The PM won't go there either, so it's somewhat academic, but they can if they wanted to, although the measures they'd have to take are drastic.
I think the latest "No deal" can be blocked if the Gov't really wants to go through with "No deal" is before the meaningful vote. Any time after the MV they have to err put Corbyn into power:
Scenario - Corbyn VONCs on 16th, 20 Tories vote down the Gov't then promptly resign their seats. 30th - Corbyn states he can't forma Gov't so we're into GE timetable. 31st? Parliament prorogued
“I pull you close, run my strong hands down your back, softly kiss your neck and whisper G’day mate.” In other messages, it is alleged Broad said: “I’m a country guy, so I know how to fly a plane, ride a horse, fuck my woman. My intentions are completely dishonourable.”
I hope he calls his knob his "dishonourable member".
That clause of the Finance (no 3) Bill gives the Treasury power to make various regulations to maintain tax and manage finances after we leave the EU. The amendment seeks to make the granting of these powers conditional upon leaving with a deal (or in the other circumstances set out in the amendment, such as Parliament actually agreeing no deal).
If carried, presumably its effect is that Treasury would not have those powers in the event of a no deal departure that hadn't been agreed by parliament. I'd assume this would be fairly critical to the continued operation of public finances and therefore would make government very reluctant to go down that path without parliaments agreement.
Whether the amendment is ruled in order and taken for debate are, of course, other matters.

They always have the option of taking down the government, forming an alternative one (which is the possibility allowable under the FTPA before you get to a GE), and then the new government pushes through the revocation act that I am sure civil servants already have in the drawer. If this were cross-party and had a clear majority in the house, I don't see how it could be stopped. It also gives HMQ another chance to wear her EU flag hat.

All seems a moot point now. In the event of a no-deal Brexit, it seems the EU already has in place contingency plans to essentially indulge in a full regulatory annexation of the UK.

Also, I wonder if it actually is drones, logistically it makes no sense. For the perpetrator to not have been caught it must have GPS off, and won't be transmitting AIS signals etc, so likely isn't being controlled by a person, but rather has pre-programmed flight instructions.
It's been well over 12 hours now of a drone in the sky, so multiple (over 10) trips would have had to have been taken for new batteries (even if it is top-end), hard to believe that no progress has been made on tracking it. The alternative is that it's either a better drone than is available on the commercial market, or many drones have been used. Both are unlikely.
Without wishing to go all tin foil, I don't particularly believe that it is drones.

I doubt if Sean T could beat this, from Morrisey
"Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.”

Mine was pretty far out there. I might put it on here when everyone is drunk over the Christmas period.
NB - ignore all the versions of my my award winning Bad Sex prose online, they are all redacted and censored; for the full and fruity glory you have to go to the book itself....
I hope you got to see the Australian sexting MP's efforts:
“I pull you close, run my strong hands down your back, softly kiss your neck and whisper G’day mate.” In other messages, it is alleged Broad said: “I’m a country guy, so I know how to fly a plane, ride a horse, fuck my woman. My intentions are completely dishonourable.”
Not as good as this (unfairly IMhO, only the runner-up for 2017)
“Her vaginal ratchet moved in concertina-like waves, slowly chugging my organ as a boa constrictor swallows its prey”
Once May’s deal is defeated, she can’t possibly stay and no one in the Tory Party would want her to. She would face a proper VNOC from Labour then, which she’d probably win but she would then be the news rather than policy which would be a massive distraction.
With Labour currently on the back foot after Corbyn’s mad moment yesterday, and idiotic attempt at a VNOC which made the Keystone Cops look competent, she’d after to make way. She won’t be missed.
As for Brexit, it might not happen at all. The chances of no deal or no Brexit must be about neck and neck.
Why do people insist on abbreviating it to VNOC?
It’s VONC man!
That’s the kind of pedantry I expect on PB - I always give people the benefit of the doubt as m6 autocorrect is bonkers on my Ipad
Mine keeps changing 'because' to 'becuase' for some reason. Does anyone know how I change it?
I often transpose two letters when typing , it is seemingly very common and something to do with one side of the brain working faster than the other, especially when you are a genius like me.
The PM won't go there either, so it's somewhat academic, but they can if they wanted to, although the measures they'd have to take are drastic.
I think the latest "No deal" can be blocked if the Gov't really wants to go through with "No deal" is before the meaningful vote. Any time after the MV they have to err put Corbyn into power:
Scenario - Corbyn VONCs on 16th, 20 Tories vote down the Gov't then promptly resign their seats. 30th - Corbyn states he can't forma Gov't so we're into GE timetable. 31st? Parliament prorogued
5th Feb ? Parliament disolved
14th March? Polling day
28th+ State opening of parliament ?
They always have the option of taking down the government, forming an alternative one (which is the possibility allowable under the FTPA before you get to a GE), and then the new government pushes through the revocation act that I am sure civil servants already have in the drawer. If this were cross-party and had a clear majority in the house, I don't see how it could be stopped. It also gives HMQ another chance to wear her EU flag hat.
Where is this mythical centrist Gov't commanding the authority of the house from ? Both front benches will whip against it
Which means realistically the magnificent seven or however many there are need to be prepared to put Corbyn in power....
There is a clear majority across the house against no deal. They would have to get together, form a government to do the single job (only takes a day or two) and then they could dissolve, presumably to a GE. It does however require a level of common intent, co-ordination and co-operation that is beyond anything even hinted at by our representatives' recent behaviour.

There are no other geniuses like you, malc.
Certainly it's unusual to come across one with a brain running slow on one side.
This will fuck up hundreds of thousands of holidays and biz trips. And it could all be just one guy - Greenpeace or jihadi, evil nutter or teen off his tits. Or a drunk who has forgotten he's got a drone and has fallen asleep on the joystick.
Does anyone understand Andrea Leadsom's plan for a managed No Deal?
Apparently it still involves negotiating a deal with a transition period, but presumably no backstop? Is she suggesting we should give up anything in return for the EU giving up the backstop? If not, why should the EU agree to her "No Deal Deal"?
Does she understand that this isn't really no deal, is it?
The BBC quotes her as saying: "A managed no deal does not necessarily mean there is no withdrawal agreement at all." and: "What I am looking at is trying to find an alternative so that in the event that we cannot agree to this deal that there could be a further deal that looks at a more minimalist approach but enables us to leave with some kind of implementation period."
So, yes, she knows she is advocating a deal, but she is still calling it "no deal".
I guess the Gov't is trying to blackmail backbenchers into voting through the deal; so the backbenchers might as well try something back.
Blackmail is bad whoever tries it, noone should give in to blackmail.
This is what the next three months will be. Labour and the Tories blackmailing each other to see whose front bench will be the first to crack and call for a Deal-vs-Remain referendum.

A spectre is haunting Europe.
It is the spectre of stupid women.
"Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.”
they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth
I'm by no means an expert of the boobs, but even I know that's not how they work.
English fizz will of course run out very soon after March 29 so enjoy it while you can.

Actually, that reminds me of one of my favourite evolutionary biology thought experiments: what would it take for a species to evolve wheels?
Nothing personal, but you have to be seen to suffer.
Bianca shivers with pleasure. Simon whispers to her with an authority that he has never felt before: ‘Let’s construct an assemblage"
If we reach 11pm March 29th and the WA hasn't been ratified and the A50 notification hasn't been revoked and the A50 negotiations period hasn't been extended then we leave with no deal.
“I pull you close, run my strong hands down your back, softly kiss your neck and whisper G’day mate.” In other messages, it is alleged Broad said: “I’m a country guy, so I know how to fly a plane, ride a horse, fuck my woman. My intentions are completely dishonourable.”
After Brexit shakes out, the FTPA is gonna need some serious bodywork.
Enormo-haddock, on the other hand...
Mr. G, yeah, I do that quite a lot. Also, homophonic typos and a weirdly recurrent problem of adding 'ly' when it isn't neededly.

Strikes me that it must be a concerted effort. Remarkable that we don’t have anti drone technology that can be deployed at airports, mind...
If carried, presumably its effect is that Treasury would not have those powers in the event of a no deal departure that hadn't been agreed by parliament. I'd assume this would be fairly critical to the continued operation of public finances and therefore would make government very reluctant to go down that path without parliaments agreement.
Whether the amendment is ruled in order and taken for debate are, of course, other matters.
Which means realistically the magnificent seven or however many there are need to be prepared to put Corbyn in power....
It's been well over 12 hours now of a drone in the sky, so multiple (over 10) trips would have had to have been taken for new batteries (even if it is top-end), hard to believe that no progress has been made on tracking it. The alternative is that it's either a better drone than is available on the commercial market, or many drones have been used. Both are unlikely.
Without wishing to go all tin foil, I don't particularly believe that it is drones.

Its third reading in the HoC will be over two months since the first reading which is an unusually long passage for a finance bill.
Blackmail is bad whoever tries it, noone should give in to blackmail.
Good afternoon, everybody.
"A managed no deal does not necessarily mean there is no withdrawal agreement at all."
and:
"What I am looking at is trying to find an alternative so that in the event that we cannot agree to this deal that there could be a further deal that looks at a more minimalist approach but enables us to leave with some kind of implementation period."
So, yes, she knows she is advocating a deal, but she is still calling it "no deal".
