Does that look like a position you'd accidentally get to?

UBER driver following their Sat-Nav?

[valiant]

Can’t park there mate

Must acknowledge how the firearms officers use their training/procedures and don’t shoot first and then reassess. It’s amazing there aren’t more frequent discharges.

What a position to be in.

It seems like you'd have to somehow miss rather a lot of Whitehall to accidentally end up in the one bit where there's a gate that just happens to be Downing Street.

I suspect this a consequence of a nearside front inner drive shaft joint constant velocity boot severely deteriorated on the car in question.

Are you suggesting it should have been more than just an advisory?

He was probably thinking, 'What could I do to get a nice quiet cell to myself for as long as possible?'

Have we identified the car yet?

[Brainpox]

Looks like he slowed to an almost stop before hitting the gates. Maybe just wants to live rent free for a while?
