There has been a huge amount of
publicity recently about the plan to possibly mount a "surface to air" missile system to protect the Olympic stadium from suicide bombers on the top of a residential complex. I drove past the proposed site this morning and TV cameras were still outside.
I even saw the story featured on "
Russia Today" television.
What hasn't been mentioned widely is that the site is actually the old
Bryant and May factory in Bow where the famous "
matchworkers strike" of 1888 took place.
Hat tip to Mick Hartly for this
photo of a helicopter next to the Lexington Tower where the missiles are thought likely to mounted (if the plan goes ahead).
