Greenpeace Parachute Stunt

[Mozz71]

Anyone see this? Although I support them on environment matters, sometimes they don't help themselves with dumbass stunts like this.

Crazy, injuring people to get your message across doesn't look good either.

[jno]

I have no idea what stunts are effective or not, but in the end what happened with this one was an accident

They should of shot the idiot down, what a rissole. In fact the marksmen need to answer some questions as to why they didn't could have been a homicide bomber with a massive shrapnel bomb.

[zebo]

Sounds typical Greenpeace, 'Oh, look at our credentials'.

[Mozz71]

While I admit he's a blooming idiot, it seems that Tora really can't help himself today.

Upset that they didn't shoot him? The parachutist isn't the only pillock around.

[Mozz71]

Oh, good grief.

[Dagman]

Hang on, hang on.. Don't aircraft need ...erm.. fuel?

[Ellipsis]

I see the mods are not Kenny Everett fans. That phrase was prime time BBC!

[jno]

he had fuel, but he got tangled up in some overhead wires.

Ellipsis - // I see the mods are not Kenny Everett fans. That phrase was prime time BBC! //

So were The Black And White Minstrels.

Times change ...

He was an idiot and is being slated by almost everyone who is keen on the sports of paragliding & paramotoring. I think his intention was to fly around the stadium & climb out again but he hadn't researched it properly that there are wires for the flying cams screening the match. He injured some spectators I think - I hope not seriously.

[Dagman]

Or was he using a bio oil to fuel his engine for his "anti oil" stunt?

[youngmafbog]

Pillock. Got no time for Greenpeace, the French got it right years ago.

Hmm, if TTT has thought of this dont you think ISIS or any other terror organisation have? What would they do if that back pack was a bomb?

[naomi24]

YMB, well said. Some pillocks are quick
To criticise but never recognise the failing in themselves.

[Electrochem]

What do these people hop to achieve?

By the way, I would have though that TTT, who is an upholder of all things British would know that it's "should have" not "should of".

And another of his gems "phased" when he meant "fazed"

Dam savage to English grammar!

[dave50]

Pity is nothing better to do than trying to impose his opinions on people watching a game of football .

[Electrochem]

That should read "hope" not "hop"
