I've just seen the footage. He practically rolled into it at 5mph, not even a dent on it lol Probably some idiot too busy looking at his satnav thinking he could take a shortcut.
Theres no road opposite the gate, just that one that runs past it, hard to imagine hittingbthe gate accidentally imo but uts obviously not some terrorist thing cos youd use a truck or something big not some hatchback
The MOD is opposite, the media claim he came from that secure area. My thoughts were different though, I felt he used the gap there to turn and get an angle that was a direct line to hit the gates. Several things seemed obvious to me though, he had no intentions of injurying pedestrians and that his driving was one more of a protest rather than one of any actual malicious intentions. Probably someone just pissed off with the Tories.
It's the 21st century, these days you want to produce as little pollution as possible before you blow up your transportation. You can't be green blowing up a dirty old truck.
If memory serves me correctly I think the otherside of those gates, not only do they have armed guards, but I'm sure there are security bollards that raise up and down out of the ground to let vehicles pass, so no way was he ever going to make it in, and like you say, for a job like that, you need a big fook off truck, but by the time you got an angle on it you would have been riddled with bullets.
