Citizens in East London have been told that their block of flats may have surface to air missiles placed on the roof, as 'security' during the Olympic Games to be held there this summer.
This will encourage them to wonder what might be flying through the air towards their homes which requires advanced weaponry to down it. What if that weaponry fails? What if, as on 9/11 in New York, it is an airliner full of passengers?
Is this really what we want, that people go in fear of their lives just so we can hold some games, which we anyway make them pay for (and, oh yes, they'll be paying, rich and poor)?
I said at the start when the fool Blair went for this that we'd regret it. We are only beginning now to see how much.
