Whoever thought it was funny to parasail over the village, it was in extremely poor taste. Take your twisted hatred somewhere else
Hate of what? Gravity?
This woman should make herself available to studies of the mind.
"We investigated thoroughly and came away with no findings"
“The lab results from the brain dissection were inconclusive, but the available data has lead us to formulate a new hypothesis. This sort of anomalously delusional thinking pattern may have been effected by excessive exposure to news and social media, but further research would be required.”
She is from rural Britain. What do you expect to find?
She's rocking the abnormal brain from Frankenstein

It’s a good thing assault rifles are illegal in Britain
Very much so. They should be illegal everywhere as idiots like this are all over the globe!
You jest. But I’ve had an 8” flying saucer shot out by an idiot when I was doing some park flying. (The saucer body was a 3d printed replica of the OG Day The Earth Stood Still film,)
- it was 8” on diameter. 2) it was in a park loaded with kids
Fortunately it was bird shot and no one was harmed. But still.
Tbf, if it had been Klaatu, those kids would have been in peril!
It’s Gort ya gotta worry about, Klatu was just holding a telescope…
Don't go to East Anglia believing that.
Tell me more
Farmers in East Anglia are authorized to be armed. Guns are quite available in the UK outside of the cities and the gun law allows for them.
True, farmers tend to keep a shotgun around in rural areas, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a farmer with an AR-15.
The farmer who lived next to me had an SA80 A2, so yes, they have them and they are legal. They just have to get police permission first.
Sometimes they even have sea mines.
Been deactivated, probably
Interesting, I didnt think civilians would be allowed to own them. I'm guessing it was a single shot .22 firing cadet version?
As far as I understand, rifles are restricted to smaller calibers and automatic fire is outright banned.
East Anglia farmers are crazy.

how does this get covered?
there's a fella that lives in an alley near me that is always saying weird things, can we get a reporter over here and publish a story?
It's ragebait.
If you call the Daily Mirror they probably will.
Main Character Syndrome
I just like the idea that Hamas got all the way through a plan to invade britain that required them to train for aerial operations, arrange for a plane, convincingly penetrate british airspace from another EU country and yet they couldn't figure out how to buy paragliders that weren't hot pink.
A leisure paragliding club would be a perfect infiltration tactic/cover!
mirror.co.uk
Ah yes, the highly respected Daily Mirror. I am 100% convinced this is a real thing that happened.
they write about a tweet, but don't link it 🤔
I bet she complains about her kids being chronically online never noticing that she's chronically watching the shittiest con news
Probably watches GB News
Yeah I didn't really know what the equivalent of Fox News was on that side of the pond.
SLAMS!
long range paragliders
Sounds like planes with missing steps
Actually, a lot of planes are missing steps, they have to drive some up to them at the airport (🥁)
Genius that one
To be fair, after the attacks on 9/11 I heard a fair number of comments from people who were convinced their local high school football stadium would be a prime target for international terror rings.
"Think about it, Becky. It's Friday night and the whole town of Left Nube, Indiana will be packed in there. We're sitting ducks."
It's silly, but people project their fear locally.
You mean they project their insecurities.
Wolverines!
Left Nube... That's a city Colin Mochrie made up, isn't it?
It is. And it has permanently entered our household lexicon.
9/11 hysteria all over again
lol found the Brexit voter
Enemy gliders!
If you're old enough to remember this, don't forget to take your ibuprofen. 😉
Were they still in the air when she slammed him?
I wonder how long it'll be till Tucker Gott gets reported for being in Hamas.
They shouldn't have painted the HAMAS and Palestinian flag on their paraglider!
Oh wait, they didn't?
I think the Mirror made this up
