Re: Missiles stationed on residential roof for Olympics
About a mile away from the Olympic Stadium area, there is a massive estate called Canary Wharf, it has massive tower office blocks which can quite easily take all this crap.
Why put thousands of residents at risk by placing the missiles and troops there, and now the terrorist know where there are placed, good planning. I willb glad when the whole thing is over with. |

Anyway, I think you will find similar initiatives are underway there... btw, it was the residents who informed the press, so you should save your ire for them. |

Re: Missiles stationed on residential roof for Olympics
Should they have individually met every one of the hundreds of residents they may possibly be siting the AA on?

We all that no matter how they'd have done this Arthur and people like him would've found something complain about.
If it'd all been kept secret until the last minute, people would've complained about a lack of consultation and the bully boy authorities. When they do consult in advance, people take it to the media and then whine about being put at risk. If they'd decided to do nothing and ignore the terrorist risk from the air, people would've been banging on about a glaring hole in Olympic security. |
Re: Missiles stationed on residential roof for Olympics
Or banging on about this had they taken the eminently sensible decision to move the misslies from above peoples heads and put them in a wood lived in by no one other than the Corky-Fruited Water Dropwort.
Plans to use surface-to-air missiles to protect the skies over London during the Olympics could be thwarted – because they will disturb the habitat of a rare wild flower. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has ordered batteries of Rapier missiles to be placed in South-East London, ready to deal with any airborne terrorist threat to the Games. But the move has led to a row with one local MP, who says the missiles risk damaging an area of historic woodland, designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, which contains the Corky-Fruited Water Dropwort. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-Dropwort.html |

Re: Missiles stationed on residential roof for Olympics
I would be quite happy for the Ministry of Defence to install a SAM installation on my roof.
Rather on my house than anyone elses. |
