It’s official ! If you live on a tall object – like a tower block – near the Olympic stadium, you could be required to lay your life on the line for Queen, Country and the Olympic Ideal !
Channel 4 news has just confirmed that the MoD will be siting anti aircraft missile batteries on the roofs of selected residences adjacent to the Olympic Stadium. Wow ! What a development.
Supporters of the Olympic ideal are saying that this move is intended to ensure that the Olympic opening ceremony goes off with a bit of a bang ! With regard to the Eurofighter debacle last week, no one is saying whether this is a first or second line of defence. Some are advocating the re-introduction of WW2 barrage balloons to provide an even more visible re-assurance to the citizens in the likely firing line.
This could almost be 1940 all over again. How exciting is that !
Keep calm and carry on.
Walls have ears – be like Dad and keep Mum
It wouls add tremendously to the atmosphere if they squirted some 3 in 1 into the remaining WW2 sirens to get them once more operational.
