Oh god, we watched them on the news earlier (jaws hitting the floor)

Why? Do we know yet?

And those poor drivers who hit them - the big burly lorry driver sounded ready to weep, poor man

Yes I saw this. Very sad and strange.

Was the programme not meant to be on at 8 tonight though?

Good Lord. I do wonder if they're not very well - not rational acts, that's for sure.

wtf ????????

does anyone know any more about this?

I am in tears....

those poor drivers.

OMG!

I use the M6 regularly, knowing me if I saw a random woman on the carriageway I would drive into the central reservation, killing myself, my dc and all the occupants of a dozen cars around me....

why don't people think of the danger they put others in ???????????

That is one of the wierdest most freaky things ever. It's incomprehensible. Thank God they made it - I hope they get 'treatment'. Must be mentally ill

nutjobs,
glad i wasn't driving with my children in the car to oldham that day

dh's close friend was hit(and killed) on the M2 two years ago whilst he was changing a tyre (lorry driver was charged)

He's going to freak out if he sees this tonight.

It's not a god thing, is it? The camera zoomed in on one of their hats in the road & it had a slogan on it, which I could only half read but it made me think of evangelists, did anybody else see that?

why

surely they must of been desperate to do that

what were they so desperate to get away from

stupid bitches

This made all the hairs on my neck stand up - it was horrible to watch and must have been awful for all those driving.

Sickening.

Sherby I was thinking the same. Mind you, when one of them was wrestling the policeman she seemed pretty strong like she was on something.

Were they both hit. Jeez she managed that after being hit by a car ffs!

Unfuckingbelievable I hope the poor drivers involved were offered counselling.

They must have some sort of mental illness or be suicidal; I really feel for the police and the other road users. Those poor police officers looked bewildered, I bet they'd not been trained for something like that.

Was anyone else thinking "FFS. Taze the silly cows and be done with it"?

they could have killed loads of people. one day in prison is that all she got?

Good grief. What on earth were they on? Feel so sorry for the poor drivers.

Oh!my!god!

death wish? drug fuelled? mad?

selfish, stupid and dangerous

why were they not charged with endangering public safety or something?

horrific

I thought that Kevlarhead - why didn't they just Taser them? Or do coppers not all have Tasers yet?
