Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

unbelievable. 24 rolling news cycles have hit their lowest ebb.

Sky News current source for this info: some lassie talking on the phone to her mum who's watching it happen. Presumably mum would rather be using her phone to film it to whack up on YouTube.

BBC not quite so OMG DRAMA. Yet.

BBC stomping all over Sky; Sopel swiped our Paula's phone and started quizzing her mam, live from Auntie Dot's.

Paula live on sky: "Those guys have got my mobile!"

Awes. I need two tellies for this.

this is the most retarded shit ever

You just have to Raoul w/it

I loved the BBC reporter just now:
(excitedly) "Oh there's a police van coming through!!!"
<van passes, it has "DOG SECTION" on the back>
(disappointedly) "Oh..."

holy fuck. twittards have been asking where the sky copter is at.

so the news anchor says, well, there's an air exclusion zone: if he had a tv [OR A PHONE] he would be able to work out where the police were.

but they've been showing umpteen shots of the police's positions and giving all kinds of potentially information out.

anchor, more like wanker.

Surely he knows where the police are because they're ALL AROUND HIM POINTING GUNS AT HIM.

isn't he holding a gun to his own head? what's the point of aiming a gun at someone doing such a thing?!

In case they point the gun at someone else?

They're ready to kill him if he doesn't surrender, Thermo. They're trying to negotiate his surrender.

I mean, ready to kill him if he makes a move on the police.

lol a witness says he had jeans on with "96" on them.

the hacks are getting bused 10 miles out

all media is to be moved 10 miles away from the incident as "their presence is interfering with the situation"

I'm sure they're jotting down some phone numbers to keep up to date via the medium of the local neighbourhood watch.

Sky anchor said they would 'do their best to work around' it, they're obviously still really hoping to capture a violent bloodbath, bastards.

Someone's set up a Paula's Mum facebook page. People be odd.

btw "Moaty I'm Here" is one of my favorite Nitzer Ebb songs

no, hes just turned up with food, lol

Gazza: "I drove from Newcastle to Rothbury. I brought him a dressing gown, can of lager. I think I can help him through this"

Haha, OK, this Gazza shit is bonkers.

Not a game of hide and sek as we know it.

Great shot tho, tbh.

Darragh, we've yet to find out about Moat's threesomes with Gazza and Jimmy Five Bellies. Give it time.

xp
Got to feel for that officer though. Situation can't be being helped by photographers hanging out of trees trying to get the money shot.

omg at that policeman

Gazza stuff is bizarre. Says he has brought Raoul Moat a dressing gown, a can of lager and a fishing rod. Police won't let Gazza talk to RM

ok i just got home. fill me in qUICK

who is this gazza person and why is he trying to talk to moat and why is it impt

look if "you lot" are going to ask about lebron i can ask this

Paul Gascoigne. Former England footballer, now beset with mental health problems. No idea why he is trying to talk to him though (possibly related to mental health problems)

xxp Armed police have Moat surrounded by a riverbank in Rothbury. He's holding a sawn-off shotgun to his neck. One of Moat's friends is being brought up to talk him into surrendering. Also Gazza - yes that Gazza - is trying to get to see Moat because he knows him.

gazza interview from real radio broadcast on sky news now

Gazza

For Goole: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gascoigne

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gascoigne

Sky News just played a clip of an interview he gave to a local radio station. he sounds somewhat incoherent.

it was like a 5 second clip sky presenter says "that was all that was coherent"

Sounds pissed. Police say he doesn't know Moat and is causing a fuss.

Trying to get to see Moat because he SAYS he knows him surely?

lol xp

Shouldn't they arrest him if he's driven up from Newcastle pissed?

uh so crazy ex-footballer is trying to horn in on the action? wtf that's... crazy

maybe jimmy fivebellies drove him? (seriously, whatever happened to him?)
