tweets from just 3 minutes ago suggest no end in sight

p.s. that's also something going on in Dover, apparently

yes it says the bomb disposal squad are searching lorries in dover port

some people criticise twitter because they can't see the point of it but in events like this it comes into its own - choose your own search term here https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=dartford

very true, bibblebub, next time I'm caught in a terrorist incident I shall open a Twitter account. Looks like I'll get a few hours to familiarise myself with it

Wasn't there a bus stopped on a motorway a few months back and it turned out to be a false alarm?

[bibblebub]

You don't need to register on the site to look at what others are tweeting. It would seem that a device found on a coach has turned out to be harmless.

That aint no terrorist. Terrorists don`t run around shouting and trying to get into peoples` cars - they keep a low profile.

[237SJ]

Probably just a lone nutter

Dead badger on the road I think

That's everybody good and scared again then.

Seven hours to find out that something's 'no threat'? What ever happened to controlled explosions?

Good job this was only a burglar and not a terrorist.

Read a proper report on the incident and you would see that bomb disposal units were in attendance.
