Drones at Gatwick

[Nearly Sane]

Since the Gatwick drone remains a mystery imho that and this could be a hard Brexit drill.

Any evidence?

[Free Willy]

Any evidence?

It's an opinion based on number of times our two major airports have been shut down by drones prior to a situation where airports and planes may well be grounded in the very near future and the number of closures since this scenario has become a real possibility, coupled with the lack of both confirmation of drones and apprehension of their operators and that other tests concerning transport in the event of no Brexit have been carried out. A test to see the impact of lorries on shitty little Kent roads attracting little international attention compared with the closure of two intercontinental airports.

so no then.

[Free Willy]

so no then.

I have provided my reasoning for what I have always claimed is an opinion. What's the problem?

Why do you think this: presumably, in thinking this, you've ruled out other possibilities?

[Nearly Sane]

I think you have provided no evidence because you have provided no evidence. It has nothing to do with ruling out possibilities.

[Free Willy]

What a silly assumption to make I accept there are other possibilities but given the circumstances
Which I have laid out I think the suggestion I make likely.

When someone made a suggestion concerning the Gatwick episode Nearly Sane did not suggest their opinion was a statement of fact and you did not assume they were dismissing other possibilities.

Why are you both mind gaming now?

Don't be silly: this is just another example of you kite-flying rather than making a point worthy of exploring further.

Conspiratorial balderdash. You haven't a shred of evidence.

Not at all.
Government already had truck tests for no deal Brexit but they were non disruptive or at least only locally disruptive.
Anything more public and likely to sway public opinion would have to be done more discretely. The circumstances fit.

Has the Heathrow drone or its operator been found yet?

And here we go again..

Hmmm, the object in the picture is most definitely a Boeing 747.

. . . and it belongs to British Airways which means that its major problem will probably be that it is late!

Evidence!

I don't get the link between forcing an airport to close down and preparing for Brexit.

There isn't one - it's conspirtorial balderdash, but at least most conspiracy nuts offer some kind of supposed evidence for their nonsense.

Brexiteers don't like foreigners coming into this country so they'll do anything to stop it.*
