The drones are attacking -- or at least that's what we're being told.
The reality however, appears to be far from what is being reported.
Was there really a drone or drones at Gatwick?
Why are *our* police so afraid of drones that the mere sight of one sends them scurrying back to base and sees all aerial operations called off -- while the UK police use their technology to capture the offender and lock him up?
And who in their right mind would use a helicopter to fly over populace areas just to get video of fireworks -- and then complain that "dangerous drones" were seen in the area?
