Olympics security arrangements

[mirrorshard]

From the Guardian: Commissioner Sir Ian Blair has told the Metropolitan police authority that, as things stand, foreign police may have to be deployed with their guns in unprecedented numbers to keep watch over the dignitaries and elite sportsmen.

Aren't we going to be the lucky ones. Not just our own home-grown firearms officers, but foreign ones too. I'm sure we'll all feel so much safer for it.

Personally, I figure I'll be feeling safer on the other side of the country.

Meh.

I wonder if we could arrange some sort of far-away festival thing as a sort of "I don't want to be in London when this happens" event? Refuge2012 or something? Can we rent a field somewhere for 3 weeks and camp? Hmm.
