    I'd be surprised if there are many places in the UK you could shoot down a jet safely. Stanstead is used because of access points for the security services. If you are on a plane and it's diverted there, you can be pretty sure some tough blokes will be waiting for it on the ground.

    Direct the plane to Croydon and then shoot it down .

    No loss to intelligent life
    If you have bothered to go to Croydon you might as well go the extra mile to Selhurst. Don't worry about the couple of sheds in the way.

    Heard this morning on the radio that the Police were after someone on board who was wanted for fraud and that the escort to Stansted happened due to some phone call from someone on board.

    Hmmm. Seems like overkill for a fraudster ?!?
    Not if he was the pilot.

    I wonder if that was why there what looked like a fully armed helicopter hovering over the City facing East yesterday lunchtime? Very unusual sight. Anyone else notice?

    the pilot is a muslim .. prayer time facing mecca
