I caught a bit of this on the luchtime news at the story qwas breaking but I missed the detail. The only place I can find any info is sky news so anyone have any more news?


Also who thinks the Americans are trying to provoke a war with Iran - in light of the Warship that was captured after 'accidently' straying into Iranian waters earlier in the year?

It was an aid flight on a Hungarian plane. It's been allowed to complete its journey to Afghanistan.


I think it's unlikely that the US would want to provoke a war with Iran right now, and recently they voted down an Israeli resolution to bomb the nuclear facilities.

Yeh I knew they made Isreal back off, that's why I was a bit shocked by this incident. Thanks for the info - but are you sure it wasn't American? It may have been a rogue US pilot or something and the Hungarian story is to stop it escalating.

I think we can be pretty confident it was what it was. When a British patrol strayed into Iranian waters the media value was maximised, some might say milked, then the sailors let go to show Iranian magnanimity.


If this was a US military supply plane could you imagine, but it left after a short delay, not much mileage to be gained from impounding an aid plane.


Move along, nothing to see here.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
