A War Ship in the Thames?

I don't think a concubines area has been a priority for Seb Coe. It might be a better idea than a warship with helicopters.

Make love not war

Absentgran, I don't quite understand what you mean by plausible in this instance. If I were piloting a plane considering attacking the Olympic stadium, I would be take a missile pointing at me quite seriously. Obviously the warship and missiles are only intended as a deterrent against air attack. Other measure will be in place to try to prevent other forms of attack.
I and Mrs. P will be in the stadium, so I am glad of any measures to make it safer.

pompa And where does the debris fall? And supposing it's "dirty" debris?

Do you remember that time when the government ordered tanks into Heathrow to counter the possibility of ground to air missile attacks on commercial planes? That wasn't exactly plausible either.

The debris is a serious concern, this was discussed on a news/political programme last week. Unfortunately this is always going to be a dilemma. With 9/11 had the Americans had enough warning to shoot down those planes, it would have killed all those innocent passengers on-board plus many on the ground, but it would have saved many lives overall. An awful decision to have to make, but, in my opinion, better to have the option of having a decision to make rather than being unable to do anything.

Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't. If we only knew what those in higher places know we might all sit back and say so be it. The days of not thinking the worst are sadly long gone.' It's life Jim but not as we know it' as Captain Kirk said.

Hope you have a lovely day by the way!

I was a fan of Spooks, I sometimes wondered just how close to the truth that series was, just who does run our country at the top level. I'm sure it's not our elected government, far too erratic.

I loved Spooks too pompa, with all whats been going on lately who knows just who runs things , there is a lot more intrigue than any of us will ever know I'm sure .

There was a good article in the Guardian today which spoke about how the recent Leveson enquiry has drawn aside the curtain (no doubt it will soon be snapped shut) for everyone to see how those in power organise things to their own advantage by dodgy dealing, intrigue and old boys network etc etc

Me too for Spooks. Now I am in to Homeland. All very scarey stuff, who would want the job? The closest I got was to almost join the Wrens, I decided I did'nt suit the hat, I did like the black stockings though. Ha Ha how rubbish am I.
