Zeuhl & Kromovaracun
Very easy to poo poo an idea especially when one has not got an alternative idea.
But first let me say Kromovaracun added a little humour to his answer, unlike Zeuhl who first made the mistake of saying the Army flew Chinooks and then later got it right by stating the RAF did. Then he reverted to his usual rudeness by calling me a " silly old man". just no need for it.
He then comes up with his solution, ///The real solution will be the usual, tedious, hands-on business of dragging the people out one by one or waiting until they get tired of standing on scaffolding with ropes round their necks and come down for a cup of tea.///
Yeh! that is really going to happen, don't you think more children will be hurt in the skirmish that would take place, than any that may be crushed under a vehicle? Which would not take place anyway because the troops would clear the area first, before they attempted to remove the vehicles via helicopters.
He then went on,
/// Not exciting - just effective and without the unwelcome bonus of small children being crushed under caravans being lifted out by helicopters! ///
Er, crushed under caravans while the caravan is being lifted up????? How is that going to happen, only if they lower the caravans down onto them.
Perhaps you would do better to engage your brain before tapping the keys Zeuhl?
