Shhhhhhhh!

You're giving the game away!

Re: Students Rioting in London.
 

the sticker is old and weathered -did the students have Dr who and his TARDIS at their disposal to drag it through time , is it in the event horizon of a black hole ,does it have a flux capacitor under the bonnet
no i think its just a very old sticker - unless the students carefully aged and weathered the sticker as part of their rise to anarchy :shrug:

Re: Students Rioting in London.
 

Obviously from the Mets stock of vans suitable for entrapment then. It's the only possible explanation.

One way to check, there is footage of the van driving down the street before it breaks down. I CBA looking for it but if someone wants to check that and see if the sticker is visible they can.

Re: Students Rioting in London.
 

as it happens so do i ,i also think the van was a reserve van kept in the local pound for when all other vans are in use because of a large gathering of unruly people ...oh say a student demo..:shrug:

(reminder....must stop inventing outlandish theories)

Re: Students Rioting in London.
 

Two very valid points from that link..... But one of the commenters on another blog (who is a police van driver) stated that there is only one set of keys issued, and they would stay with the driver - if he was called away due to, say, a bit a fracas happening nearby, the keys go with him - not saying it's what happened, but perhaps it's a possibility.....

impossible mate my pc is covered in tin foil even the aliens can't get at it .

Re: Students Rioting in London.
 

take note they didn't put the sticker on the van at the time of this vid because the window screen grill would have preventing them putting it where the pic shows it is

Re: Students Rioting in London.
 

The conspiracy doesn't end with the police. It goes all the way up to the government! I mean they just built Millbank there where it could be ransacked and make the protests look bad.

Re: Students Rioting in London.
 

Well, I do have something of a working knowledge. I have been in the motor trade for many years (including working for, amongst others, Renault, Citroen, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Ford dealerships), particularly in commercials and I have extensive experience in conversions and have supplied security companies with converted vehicles. That van would reached nothing more than a thousand pounds (at a stretch two thousand if had recently passed its eight week safety check) if it came up on the block, even if a buyer could be found for it.

The van had no number plates, had a "police aware" sticker on it and was covered in rust, looking at it, it is unlikely it would have passed its safety checks. Do the Met routinely drive around in vehicles with no number plates? That van would have been amortised a long time ago, therefore would not be worth anything at all to the Met.

I must admit I didn't see any "kit" still inside the vehicle, I will have to take your word for it that it was there. What kit, in particular, are you referring to?

Re: Students Rioting in London.
 

It's almost like your saying whenever the police need a monumental presence in the City of London for protests involving tens of thousands of protesters where violence is expected that the police would source and re-use older vehicles that aren't in day-to-day operation to help meet the demand?

Come now, now you're just being silly.

Yes, totally unbelievable... :D
