Saw this video clip about security for the Olympics. Don't know if its viewable other than in the US. Big naval ship up the Thames. Surface to air missiles in place on the ground. Wow, just wow!

Although on the day of my medical I walked through Green Park and was greeted by a Huey flying nice and low!

I like your photo. A typical day in London--umbrellas and Hueys. :o

Here's a bit of backstory as to this astonishing military presence:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/news/9399841/Olympics-I-dont-know-if-guards-speak-English-says-G4S-chief.html

On Friday night, a senior G4S whistleblower told Channel 4 News the company bad been struggling with its recruitment targets since at least December.

The former screening and vetting centre employee, who was not identified, said: “There were some concerns — you could tell there was a bit of a panic, but they didn’t want to give too much away.” G4S has not responded to the whistleblower’s allegations.

Our journey together on this earth has come to an end.

I will see you one day again, my love.

I saw this on the news the other day!

I seem to be a few days behind everything though :bonk: I only watch Iplayer and stuff because i refuse to pay a tv licence :no:

There was a lot of fuss about G4S not providing adequate security so they have brought in the army. Im glad i dont live in London right now!

You know, I'm not actually too bothered about this whole 'Anti Aircraft' equipment on the tops of buildings. Seriously, I'm not. The Olympics are a target. Nice, big, heavily populated and very dense area full of millions of extra tourists, politicians, kings, queens, princes and princesses... yes I think it all deserves a bit of additional protection
