    "The M1 in Hertfordshire has been closed after a man on a gantry above
    the road was reported to emergency services."

    M1-M25 junction close in both directions.

    FFS, get a sniper up there, shoot the ****, and let everyone else get on
    with their lives.

    I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate
    change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
    go and talk to the Catholics.

    Having spent > 2 hours on the M25 this afternoon due to that very
    incident, I'll steady the bloody bipod.

    god no, don't shoot him, he's only after the attention.

    just carry on like he's not there. don't bloody close the motorway whatever
    happens. really, the nanny state needs to get over the enfant roi syndrome.

    They didn't shut it this afternoon while a crew were trying to
    straighten out the Armco in the middle.

    Just lane 3, for about 100m.

    Obligatory tin-shed on its side on the hard shoulder.

    I was getting worried - I hadn't seen an upturned caravan all summer.
