Gosh, no-ones going to get past that fence

Bit like having the worlds most secure safe - and then not locking it.
Oh that fence was solid for quite some distance - the image is of either still putting it up, Or taking it down.
In the early hours I got flagged by a guy rather inebriated on the way back into the City - I stop and ask what can I do for you? Please can you take me back to a certain student campus! okay I says but I need money up front - the guy says I am a police officer which ties in why he wants the campus...so I say no problem, and we get chatting.
He was one of around 9,000 + police officers covering security for NATO........his duty was standing on a motorway overhead foot way/small road bridge on 12 hour shifts x 10 days

looking down on the M4! So I say to him...what were you doing, looking for Iraqi tanks? ( an attempt at small humour), no he says........watching out for protesters

Coupled with accusations that the Met had posed as protesters - it would seem that the threat is becoming more from our own leaders........than any extremists.
