Armed police and a police helicopter were called to the busy Stroochester junction of the M234 after reports were received of a traffic hold-up caused by a man with a shotgun threatening a van driver.
The incident occurred at around 11.30 pm last night.
The man was disarmed by tactical weapons specialists, while another woman at
the scene had to be Tazered after she attempted to bite a police officer.
No-one was injured.
“This Audi shot across the junction and cut up a white Transit van on the inside lane. Then a well-dressed, rather elderly-looking man got out of the Audi and stood in the middle of the road, shouting and swearing and waving a
shot-gun at the poor van driver,” said one witness, who wished to remain
anonymous.
“There was another posh-looking woman who was staggering around, shouting and
banging on the van’s side windows, trying to get into it. Both of them looked
totally smashed and fighting mad. Fortunately the police got there pretty
quickly and didn’t muck about…”
Once subdued, the man and woman were breathalysed at the scene and both were
found to be three times the legal limit for breath alcohol. They were
subsequently remanded in custody.
“A man and woman were arrested after a disturbance at the junction of the M234
with the A9801 Stroochester by-pass last night,” a police spokesman said. “They
subsequently received a formal caution from our Chief Constable, who warned
them that any further such behaviour may lead to disciplinary proceedings at
the Masonic lodge. They were then released without charge.”
“We trust that the prompt action taken by Midway’s police officers will serve
as a deterrent to all drink-drivers who go around threatening people with
shotguns,” the Midway police spokesman continued, “unless, of course, you have
all of the right connections in which case, it’s ‘Get Out Of Jail Free”…”

So two drunken toffs hold up a van with a shotgun on a motorway and get
released without charge? It just goes to show that rich and well-connected
people can do exactly what they like in today’s Tory-dominated society, without
fear of any consequences.
Of course it does, you silly boy. The sooner you grow up and learn that “privilege” means exactly that, the happier your betters will be.

A typically stupid reply from Gay Morono Man, a typically stupid remoaning
socialist La**or-supporting woke snowflake. Like all lazy parasitic leftist
scum, he is a blight on society and as such is unable to hold any sort of
discussion without resorting to vile, frothing insults. Crawl away and die, you
K**r S**rmer bum-boy.

It is reassuring to see that the British police are still capable of
making common-sense judgements in the face of increasingly woke, snowflake
leftism. If rich and well-connected people were to be held to the same laws as
the common peasantry, then society as we know it would cease to function. What
is the point of privilege if the law of the land is applied to rich people?
Fortunately, we have a government that fully understands this basic tenet of
English society.
