The real worry for the apartment guys are not the soldiers outside, but if the missiles explode above their apartment instead of reaching the target. :roll:

I live near one of the residences that will have above one of the glorious missile launchers.
Might go to the special invite only Armed Forces discussion / drop in session at my local meeting place.

If I look out my window I can see the whole of the Olympic site as clear as a colored manga comic.

Yea I know these things before you.
I am important.

If the UK goverment thinks thats the right choise to make in order to keep the area safe, why not?

But if they will still fail in keeping it safe, expect a media shitstorm & a lot of people mad.

"A terrorist organisation seized control of the SAM missile batteries and fired upon both the Westminster Palace and the Buckingham Palace, killing multiple government officials and causing great havoc in the city of London."

"The UK has invaded Uganda in response to the 7/27 attacks."

I'm sorry, I didn't think that one through.

"The terrorists have seized control of the SAM facilities and have nicked the missiles, stripped them of their explosive components and blown up Her Majesty."

Followed by, of course, "The UK has invaded Uganda in response to the 7/27 attacks."

Canadians are still mainly British descendants and you can't change that, maybe you should all stop being so big headed and enjoy being british instead of saying 'I'm nothing to do with Britain, I'm Canadian!'

There are tons of Canadians who have absolutely no British blood in them. The country itself was a British colony, yes, but the people there are nothing like the Brits.
By your logic the USA should be revering the Queen as well.

Well America was first colonised in a 'modernised' way by the British so maybe they should.  ;)

Anyone who knows anything about the history of the illuminati legend is that they do not interfere with human affairs and simply use earth as a base of operations. (Im not shitting you this is the actual lore))

Well if you want to try us do it. We'll only have HMS Ocean, Tornadoes, Apache helicopters, the army and the police force. But nothing will be 100% safe.

Yesterday I went out with my Union Jack Denim Jacket.

I was waiting for the bus to ASDA. I saw what I belived to be an RAF Typhoon fighter jet.
You could see the two engines at the back.

As I returned home I looked at the army men sitting and chatting at the rocket launcher.

Great day to be British.  :cool:

Also, this is what they will be using, which looks pretty l33t to be honest.

Every SWAT team in North America has one of these. Its just those loudspeakers they use during riots. it has the ability to broadcast messages across very large distances and is audible even in a dense urban environment were buildings block the path of standard loud speakers.

it can also emit a very high pitched sound that temporarily deafens you and actually hurts like a bitch. They used them in Toronto when we had the G20 but this is a good example of how they are used both as a loud speaker and as a non lethal weapon.

Sounds like something we could really use on the Westboro Baptist Church. :cop:

Apparently, there is also another version of the sonic cannon that silences the target; the audio received from you is directed back at you at a slight delay, so your brain gets confused while processing the audio. Then, you will fall silent of your own accord.

Exactly for anyone who knew about the London riots... :lol:
It's funny how it was a peaceful protest about someones death, then a bunch of unrelated pathetic chavs decided to start throwing bricks and the whole thing escalated, they say it was about the death of a black guy, but half of the people rioting didn't know what it was about, they just said things like 'Coz we can't get a job or in college an all dat inni' to BBC news. :roll:

I'm going to the Games, so it should be very interesting...

Last year there were talks about a mass security base to be situated under the Olympic campus, the main stadium... should definitely be an interesting year, but rightfully can't leave things to chances.
