Where’s the security?

Protestors on runway halt flights at Stansted airport.

How the hell were these idiots able to even get on the runway? Surely there should be enough security to prevent them from being able to reach the runway.

More puzzling, the article says:

“Due to this event the runway is closed and will continue to be so until further notice. The advice to passengers is to contact their airlines directly who can advise them but we are expecting delays.”

How bloody long does it take to get the police in to haul them off the runway and off to a cell? It certainly shouldn’t take long!

UK2 Christmas Competition

The UK2 Christmas Competition was launched today- as we did in previous years, it’s a simple advent-calendar based idea – you can enter once per day, every day up to and including Christmas Eve.

Top prize is a 17” MacBook Pro or a Samsung 46″ LCD TV with Home Cinema System, with runner-up prizes of 3 * UK2 “Silver” Dedicated Servers for 1 year and 10 * UK2 “Home” Web Hosting packages for 1 year.

Just a shame UK2 staff can’t enter! :)
