It's truly pitiful conspiracy-theorising, isn't it? Coupled with an unhealthy (and, frankly, ludicrous) dose of "I am smart enough and curious enough to know the real story here - the rest of you are merely credulous saps".

On top of which, Vixen still has yet to explain quite how & why Beds Fire & Rescue Service should feel the need - or have the need imposed upon it? - to participate in this grand conspiracy theory in order to protect the nefarious interests of the Prime Minister and his wife.

Perhaps in Vixen's head, things went something like this:


<sfx phone rings>

"Hello. Beds Fire & Rescue Service. Office Idiot Jenny speaking. How may I help you?"

<sfx deep, quiet voice with more than a hint of menace>

"Hello Jenny. This is Bob from Rishi Sunak's office. Inter alia it is now circa 09:30 hours on 11th October. In loco parentis, I want to remind you on Rishi's behalf that you work for him, Kemo Sabe? There are to be no slip-ups this time. I trust you know exactly what to do. Nil satis, nisi optimum, Jenny.

<sfx Bob terminates the phone call>

<sfx Jenny dials the extension of Andrew Hopkinson>

"Hello Chief. This is Idiot Jenny from the Comms Department. I just spoke with a nice man from Rishi Sunak's office. He used lots of spurious Latin phrases - I think he was trying to come across as smarter than he really is - but I got the gist of what he was saying."

"Thank you Jenny. I've already spoken with Rishi and his wife personally about this. Their murky and arcane financial investments must be protected at all costs, and we here at Beds Fire & Rescue Service obviously have an obligation to play an active role in the cover-up. So please draft me an internal memo entitled Operation Misdirect with the usual stuff about deceiving the stupid British public and kowtowing to the establishment. You remember, like the memo you wrote last year after we rescued Knebworth's mayor's cat from up that tree?"

"Right away, Chief"

"Oh and Jenny, I'll have a black coffee with three sugars when you've got a moment. I've got a long day of deception, obfuscation and misdirection ahead."

That is incredibly close to reality. Such is satire.

That's true. In New Zealand too, Range Rovers are a status symbol of the upper class landed gentry. No commoner would have one because they are ****, nothing like the original Land Rovers I drove on the farm back in the 1960s.

Range Rover fire which sparked Luton airport car park collapse comes six years after Land Rover destroyed Liverpool's Echo Arena car park - and six months after 4x4 recalls
...The blaze at Luton airport yesterday also comes six months after Land Rover recalled several models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport to address issues that could potentially lead to fires.

In 2017 a Land Rover burst into flames within a multi-storey car park in Liverpool, creating a 1,000C inferno that incinerated up to 1,600 vehicles. The fire was hot enough to melt aluminium and engulfed seven floors of the parking structure at the Echo Arena on Liverpool's waterfront.

And last year a mother-of-two told said she was forced to leap from a window when her Range Rover exploded. Sami Webster was stuck inside the car by the locked doors as plumes of smoke began seeping through the dashboard.

Ms Webster, 30, managed to squeeze through the window to escape after the vehicle burst into flames. In the process the mother suffered two broken ribs and smoke inhalation.

Vixen finally managed to get one thing right, the common factor here is Land Rover. Not hybrids or lithium batteries, the Land Rover brand.

Last night, 100 firefighters spent 12 hours battling the inferno at Luton's Terminal Car Park Two when the £20million block was engulfed by flames and caved in just before 9pm.

Investigators believe the blaze was started when a diesel Range Rover suffered an electrical fault or leaking fuel line.

Absolutely nothing about hybrids or lithium batteries in that article. When the Daily Mail doesn't push a conspiracy theory you know there's nothing there.

And for a bonus, that article links to this:-

'It was like a bomb went off': Mother tells how her £58,000 Range Rover Velar exploded on her drive and gutted her home
A mother-of-two has told how her Range Rover worth tens of thousands of pounds exploded 'like a bomb' and flames engulfed her home...

Lauren was shaken and has spoken of how 'terrifying' it was.

She said blue sparks and smoke came from her grill and she heard a loud banging under her bonnet.

Even though she tried to turn her engine off, the car wouldn't stop.

She and her two children joined neighbours in a nearby garden as they watched firefighters put out the blaze.

'We watched on in disbelief as the car exploded,' she told The Sun.

'There was debris flying everywhere, over people's houses. It was like a bomb had gone off.'

You would think the Daily Fail would take the opportunity, but no - again no mention of hybrids or lithium batteries. In this case the fire definitely started in the engine bay...

Point of correction.

We have NOT been told it was a Land Rover. Think about it.

Compare and contrast with the information freely given in this article:

The pair, both from Blyth, were in a Suzuki Vitara with two other males, aged 41 and 17, who suffered serious injuries and remain in hospital.

The other vehicles involved in the crash, which happened at about 21:30 GMT, were a Range Rover Evoque and a Ford Focus, Northumbria Police said.

Think about the need to cover up the make and model of the vehicles involved in the Luton and Bristol Airport car park fires.
 
Social mobility in England is not the topic of this thread. Please return to discussing the Luton Airport car fire.

To be fair, whilst the order of actions is unusual, as well as redundant (you wouldn't usually touch the forelock and doff the cap, since both signify the same deference, and the former is, I think, a substitute for the latter if no headgear is currently worn), it is at least feasible unless the forelock is tucked inside the cap.

Maybe it's a cap/forelock hybrid.

If you genuinely believe that your choo choo went around the bend a long time ago.

But I don't believe you do.


So Vixen, going to finally provide what I've been asking for for literal months yet?

Electric double-decker bus catches fire during rush hour

An electric double-decker bus caught fire during the morning rush hour in south-west London.

Emergency services were called to Wimbledon Hill Road/Alwyne Road in Wimbledon shortly after 07:20 GMT.

<conspiracy>
The fact they're already declaring it an electric bus, means it has to be a diesel powered bus! By doing it this way they can better hide the fact that the Luton Park car was an electric car, because then they called it a diesel powered car.

Wake Up the Sheeple!!!
</conspiracy>

:cool:
 
They need to make it clear that electrical vehicles don't catch fire, and the reports of a cover-up were threatening that. What better way of covering up the fact that they are covering up electrical vehicles catching fire, and proving that all fires are caused by diesel vehicles, than publishing stories about electrical vehicles catching fire?

Exactly!

It's so obvious, once you notice it!

In English grammar there is such a thing as collective nouns ergo it is quite possible for one to say that people were 'singing and dancing' or that something is 'swings and roundabouts' without it in anyway meaning that people are doing both at the same time.

As I said, it is possible the fault in the car was due to the owner messing around with customization and not a manufacturing fault.
