Look out for some black ribs tearing out of Poole harbour; take more than 5mins?

Where's Ffolkes when you need him?

They've gone in via helicopter before.

Sounds like the police are dealing with it? Why? Send in the marines.

DEFINITELY NOT A HIJACK

It's right there, in the articles, in actual written words for all to see :confused:

This'll be an immigration issue.

. Local MP Bob Seely has told Sky News he expects the incident will be handled by marine counter-terrorism forces and that a COBRA emergency meeting has likely either been held or is due to be held.

How do you know his name is not Jack? It could be exactly that when he first speaks to his appointed attorney.
