spot on Tec!!! :-D

There are plenty of huge country houses on vast estates, as owned by the National Trust where the security risks would be minimal.

Why disrupt a City, spending millons on security measures


Tec :-)

I agree with Ann. If the security risk is so great that we have to take such drastic measures then we don't need it here.

I lived in Bournemouth for a few years and lived not far from the BIC (conference centre) where party conferences were held. It was a couple of years after the Brighton bomb and the Tories were having their conference in Bournemouth that year. Every household within about a half-mile radius of the BIC had a visit from the police, taking details of our cars, where we worked, what times we left and arrived, anywhere we went regularly etc. All the local post boxes were covered and there were marksmen dotted all around, road blocks etc. The beach front was also closed in the centre. My boss had a car with Irish plates and he was always getting stopped, at that time and later, but it served him right cos he was a b*****d :-D

With the present terrorist threat I think it makes sense, whether or not Obama is there, any NATO summit is a target.

You should be honoured having such an auspicious guest.

Talk tidy!

this is being held in Newport next month and already things are being fenced off around Newort and Cardiff - it's got to ridiculous proportions. Fencing along parts of the M4 and around Cardiff Castle and other parts of the city

schools are being closed when the children will just have gone back after the summer holidays

All because Obama is attending :-(
