Colin Furze, is said to have been arrested by Lincolnshire Police after he revealed his flame-thrower scooter to the world last week. The anti-tailgating flame thrower is operated by the flick of a switch and shoots a 15ft flame out of the rear of his 60mph scooter. But after it appeared on YouTube Furze is reported to have been quizzed by police on suspicion of possessing an object converted into a firearm. Video at link. |

| #3 Now if the gentleman's name was Mohammed Furzeh bin Ali, then he would have received a nice pat on the head and an apology for the racist police investigation -- if any investigation was ever authorized to begin with. The sun is setting on the Brtish Empire... |

| #2 Hey!!! Since a "firearm" must shoot flames, does this mean that pistols and rifles are legal in old blighty? 8^) Buffoons |
