I quite ofteen see 'convoys' of armed cars, sometimes escorting a blacked out merc. Always thought it was just Greg Pope on his way back to Westminster

Might have been a speeding car or a car with an illegal number plate. Doubt all that fuss would have been for something worthwhile. Not in this country anyway.

They could have been training, when training they do it as if it was a real situation!

i first thought maybe it was a stolen car but then from the first cop car i saw to the last one was a good difference of maybe 5 miles and these days they let two three deal with it and scramble a police helicopter

it would have worked out cheaper though because an english taxpayer wouldnt have attracted so much media attention and probably got a lot less compensation

Ya your right accyman they would just have wrote it off and put it down to experience, and anyway they'd have said he shouldn't have been there in the first place
