Armed Police

Nothing in the news. I went for a walk at lunchtime, across the millenium bridge and followed a couple of armed policemen - sub-machine guns, flack jackets - the works. When I got to the station coming home from work there were three there as well.

If this is supposed to make the public feel safe it is having the opposite effect on me. I don't generally worry about the terrorist threat - there's nothing I personally can do, but get on with my life. All these police just keep the concern at the front of your mind. They can be at least as dangerous as the terrorist, if they get carried away.
