the guy yesterday. And he was only there by chance because the Defence Secretary was in the HoC. This suggests that, had that not been the case, there may not have been an armed officer on hand to stop him before he got into Parliament itself. Seems a little lax, doesn't it?
The entry / exit point from where the Allan was shot would be the Great Hall. There is usually a tooled up police person near the door in there.
Which of course begs the question, wtf were they doing at the time?
There may have been other armed officers there but reacted most quickly?Quote:

Three were fired, but even if all three hit the torso, there's every chance of surviving that (for a bit at least) if they were only 9mm handgun rounds.Quote:

Were they not plain clothes officers that fired on him? If what you've said above is true then there are some very serious questions that need answering.Quote:

Yes. Which would tend to support the suggestion it was a CPO rather than your standard armed copper.Quote:

I would just like you to note that I have never mentioned to a soul what I saw that day at the hairdresser's.Quote:

I've seen eggs with more hair than Pokster.

But in reality it's just spray painting your head.
