6 arrests in London, and a rather dramatic chemical incident on the M6 toll road.

Grim times.

To quote the breaking news ticker on the Guardian: M6 toll road incident is not terror-related, Staffordshire police say. More details soon ...

Maybe a hedgehog crossing the road?

Journeying back to London, I finally opened my tupperware of porridge and was just applying a flask of hot milk when.. [urlhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-18719962[/url

Six arrests? My word, that's one in ten million of the entire population. The country must be on the point of imminent collapse.

Yeah, but it might have been a TERROR HEDGEHOG

From the BBC:

"A police source told BBC Radio WM a passenger was seen pouring a liquid into a box, which then started smoking."

Probably pouring tea from a flask into a cup......

Mind you the photos of all the passengers sat on the opposite carrageway look pretty scary to me:

At least we know we'll be safe in the winter

Hedgehog internment could be the way forward for the Bullingdon clique?

I was in Belgium a few years ago and they closed a railway station because of "white powder" on one of the platforms. Turned out to be icing sugar off a pastry. Those were the good old days, we used to sell a lot of biowarfare equipment back then. A bit of paranoia is always good for business

It's the only language they understand, the spiny bar stewards

Mock if you like, but I've been there when a hedgehog went off. They're like nail bombs.
