Quite a scary thought. Even if it is only intended for the Olympic games (which reminds me heavily of Chinas approach to crowd control), it's a fair bet that it'll continue afterwards.

If it is only intended for the duration of the Olympics, why the need for a ban on tents? Why the need for the banning on banners and the like?

And why the need to ban the feeding of birds?

Tents don't belong in our city centres unless someone has been murdered or they need to cover up an open manhole. You can't see what goes on inside a tent and there's a risk - however small - that someone could be making a bomb inside one.

As for the birds - feeding them attracts them in large numbers which spreads disease and makes them shiit everywhere.

Quite right. Lets ban houses too, or at least make them out of glass :roll:

Now I KNOW you're just a troll.

Let me see how many tents I've been in that have had safe enough areas to make explosives (and I've been in a lot of tents over the last thirty or forty years).

Erm, a rough estimate would be 'none whatsoever'. And why only in those two places?

I assume birds in other parts of the country don't spread disease?

How about the banners and loudhailers then? Are you expecting exploding placards that shower the city in Anthrax?

Just off on a side tangent for a moment; I have just found out today the new benefit rules for ESA states "You must tell us if you or your partner go away from home - even if its for a day" - ffs I now have to call the DWP every day to tell them my husband has just left for work, I'm going to my hospital appointment in Leeds, I'm going to watch my rugby team, I'm going to the seaside for fresh air, I'm going to the caravan for a weekend etc etc. Talk about a police state :evil:

The way to deal with that is to tell them every time you leave the house - there is no definition of 'away' that they can give you.

They'll soon get fed up with you.
