  1. >A gunman was filmed threatening to shoot firearms officers during a 14-hour siege sparked by the delivery of a cold chicken kebab.

    >Paul Burton, 46, and Nathan Turner, 38, high on vodka and Valium, had held a delivery driver hostage after he also forgot their salad.

    >Turner used Facebook Live to record the terrifying stand-off.

    >He is heard telling police: “I ordered two kebabs. The geezer sat outside my flat for 45 minutes so I thought it was only fair, seeing as he forgot my salad and it was cold, that he would have to wait upstairs with me for an hour.

    >“So I’d like to report a crime, they stole my salad and they stole the heat off my takeaway.”

    >Nathan Turner was eventually arrested by the police

    >CCTV shows Burton roaming a corridor with a large air rifle with a telescopic sight.

    >A neighbour says in a 999 call: “It looked like an AK47.”

    >Burton threatened to shoot the first officer that walked through the door.

    >Police marksmen surrounded the block in Bedford and called for the men to come out. One yells back: “Come through my f***ing door and I’ll kill you coppers in a heartbeat.”

    >Turner films a cache of weapons including an axe, scythe and truncheon and says: “If anyone tries to come into my house you better be bringing guns, you better be bringing knives, because that scythe is going in one of your heads.”

    >A new episode of the Channel 4 series 24 Hours in Police Custody takes viewers behind the scenes of the incident in November last year.

    Nathan Turner told police he was angry about his cold kebab

    >Siege commander Supt Steve Ashdown positioned one officer ready to fire a lethal shot if necessary. Burton is also filmed on an eighth-floor balcony aiming at officers. A radio crackles: “I’ve been shot at, I’ve been shot at.”

    >A .22 pellet had been fired into the windscreen of a dog unit car.

    >Back on Facebook, Turner, recently banned from seeing his daughter, tells followers: “I’ve lost everything. If I get shot, it’s been nice knowing you all.”

    For those that don’t want to navigate that hellscape of a website.

    (Edit: Also hardly a Mirror exclusive if it’s on a Channel 4 TV show and was streamed on Facebook Live, SMH, journalism these days… words have lost all meaning)

  2. I empathise, who among us haven’t been in this exact same predicament.

  3. In all fairness it is absolutely heartbreaking when takeaway arrives cold. You can warm it up, but something like a kebab is never going to be as good when it’s warmed up as it was when it was still hot from being cooked the first time. I can see how a cold chicken kebab could tip you over the edge if you’re already at breaking point.

    Now if it’s a pizza it’s no big deal, because pizza is actually nicer when warmed up, especially if it’s from the night before. Pizza is the takeaway to get if you’ve had a bad day.

  4. We have enough problems, turning into mini America isn’t going to help!

  5. “Turner admitted affray and criminal damage and was sentenced to 20 months.”

    Joke

  6. I feel so… Dull… For having merely reported my missing McDonald’s item through the Uber Eats app and having it refunded. What a boring life I lead.

  7. We’ve all been there when our kebab arrives cold and you just want to grab the scythe and go on a killing spree, no salad either, not surprised at all that he lost it 😂

  8. As a guy who received a cold kebab and pizza last night because they went to the entirely wrong house and blamed me for their fuck up, I empathise.

  9. ‘So what you in for’ followed by a prison erupting in laughter

  10. Finally, a new series of 24 hours in police custody!

  11. if this was a black or brown person, there would much more anger and more upvotes

  12. People don’t realise, that most of time it arrives cold, is because the takeaway has just left it sitting on the side.
