Blue: Yes, saw a powerpoint of it. Incredible. As for this video, thanks to H&S and the modern car, I expect there were 15 airbags dotted around the interior. I'm surprised the ball wasn't bounced back into the crane.

A plaudit indeed Blue - thanks. If only the Farce PR departments could afford my fees, public confidence would soar! De Campo has the basic idea. My own preferred strategy would be to co-opt this wrecking ball crew as the fast action rehabilitation team. Playing the theme from the A Team at mega-decibels, we would park them up in front of scrote houses, post 'rehabilitate here or in hell' notices through the door and then knock with the ball in progressively extended swings. The public would be invited to use our Crime Smashers hot-line.
Archy is allcoppedout - no great conspiracy, just easier to post with a google-based account.
De Campo: I too love its medieval charm. What the Romans could've done with a few of those against the Barbarian hordes and the Greeks to the Persians....hang on a mo`. Persians>Iranians??????
JuliaM: Holy crap! But as you hinted, the absence of tyre smoke and sparks....incidentally, this has just made BBC News 24!
Archytas: I feel that the concept of your suggestion is wholly sound. There's nothing delivers a message from the good guys of society like a steel ball through the front door. Its what I'd like to think of as a subtle form of social control. (see "Albions Fatal Tree", Hay et al)
I was fancying personal roles in this Hog, on Farce-provided Harleys and with cavalry sabres! With a time-machine we might catch up with Old Karl, drunk and smashing gas-lamps, thus saving the world much pain and me much tedious reading. Whose side will we be on at Peterloo though?
You know, archytas, I think I'd re-set the time machine a little earlier. I see myself as a sort of Robespierre with a conscience and a dash of Abe Lincoln, but at the same time a little more ruthless than both. But Harley's don't like cobbled streets.
I'm something of a Maigret novel fan myself Hog and 'The Four Just Men'. Bullet in the brain from an old Barrett Light 50 once used by the IRA for a scumbag drug-dealer, with some CIA drugs-for-arms cash littered about sort of stuff (chummy shot outside 3-storey house built on 'Troubles compo' in XMG). Would all that 'existential hero' power corrupt us though? Haven't yet been able to write in the wrecking ball.

Jeeeeeeeez!
Immediate thoughts:
1) hope the people in the car weren't too badly hurt
2) the lawyers are going to get very rich on the back of this
Have you seen that YouTube video of the tall building in Indonesia falling over unprompted?
It wouldn't have happened on my watch, guv!

archytas: :))
You inspired me to add my own headline:
"Building Site Foreman to be Prosecuted by HSE Over Spoof Re-Creation of Raiders of Lost Ark Opening Sequence Tragedy" (He wasn't wearing his safety goggles and earplugs when shouting `ACTION` through a megaphone that wasn't displaying its annual electical safety check sticker)
Archytas that is the best comment I have ever read on a blog... ever.
F^ing brilliant.
Blue: No. 7 a real killer!
My immediate thought?
1) I need to get my own wrecking ball.
I'd like to hope this one is fake, but I'm not so sure....

These comments are awesome!

Archytas: Ah the gentle kiss of a `Light 50` - you old softie ;) Have you been watching "The Hurt Locker" again???
Powder: Sanity comes in many forms and there's many a true word spoken...but these things are rare in The House of Commons.
