Take a quick trip down the Norfolk coast where i live and see the Gas Terminal and the towers. I had to stop filming as there are police snipers and cameras, so i had to stop filming. The tower buster was thrown out the window near the base.
When i worked in a gunsmiths all the armed police and anti terrorist police used to pop in to see what we had in on the way to the site.
If i was honest there were a couple of the policemen i would not like to get on the wrong side of and they are always keeping an eye on the area. They also stop the local gamekeepers often because they are armed.
Just thought i would share my old bosses run in with those chaps, they dont find much funny.
My old boss who owned the gunsmith was a particulary unpleasant man (long story) and his wife....well a fearsome creature sure enough (Irish Gypsy). He got arrested travelling with his wife taking some guns back to his house from the shop, when stopped and his boot searched, the policeman asked him if he had anything else dangerous in the car, to which he replied "Only the wife".
Ironically i dont think he was trying to be funny, just thought i would share it.
A policeman said to me outside the shop 3 summers ago that the police know there will be a war and civil unrest as they are planning to cope with it. He then told me that the force had upgraded the guns they were using back from a 223 round to the heavier 308 round. He was one of the snipers who will go up the towers.
We also discussed how traffic wardens and other officials will be upgraded to police powers to cope with unrest. So that conversation always stuck in my mind.
You can take that any way you like but to me, back then it was further conformation of my research into what is going on in the world and making preparations to ensure i have at least knowledge and skills to help others and my family.
Lets be honest we are onto them, and we have lost our sun on most days, so we know we aren't wrong about it, chances are we aren't wrong about lots of other things either.
Thanks for reading i just thought i would share a connected ramble as i was hitting those towers, they were really huge and there were a couple of other funny looking antennas i have not seen before. Might look into that somehow.
