    ''I've looked these (the missiles) up and I don't think they're the kind of thing you can fire over a highly populated area like Tower Hamlets, think of the debris." Glad a 28 yr old freelance journo is a Rapier and expert.

    ''I don't think it needs to be here at all. 'I don't see how the decision was made or who made it." Lucky he's also an air defence specialist whilst blissfully unaware of the opportunity for an, "out of touch/ uncaring/ top brass/ wouldn't see this in Kensington' type quote!

    I do enjoy the, "I know nothing about this, yet feel the need to complain as if I have an informed opinion" tone of this halfwit.
    He's dyslexic. He's seen two blokes called Jim and Paul and assumed they must be looking for missile sites.

    As I'm staying the hell away from London and the Olympics. I don't really care, but if I had an opinion about SAMs in a built up area. I would be more worried about where they ended up than where they started

    All academic anyway, unless they can identify which aircraft to shoot down.

    Has there been specific recognition & identification training for this?

    I agree - he has every right to be outraged - I mean what do the Irish know about terrorism anyway.

    Good to see all the "experts" lining up with in-depth analysis and capability reviews..............
    "This will teach you" said the Headmaster, as he thrashed all three of us for bunking off..............."Brilliant, I thought, the education system failed to teach us and now the catholics are having a go"!!!!!!!!!!!
