Fire!
I just caught reports on the radio of six fire engines, including a turntable arriving at the House of Commons this evening to tackle a fire. I cannot see anything on the BBC website about it but apparently there was a fire in the MP's kitchen in Portcullis House. It seems that in these very difficult times an MP cannot even burn his toast without causing a crisis.
I was in Westminster yesterday and the security presence was very evident. Policemen in flak jackets carrying automatic rifles were all over the place. I suppose we should be thankful that the Greenpeace protestors were not shot down from Big Ben.
