A Sporting event is being held and they are going to have ROOF TOP Missles. Something is definitely wrong with the Human Race when something like this has to be done.

We've got to do something to give our athletes a chance. No British runner can catch Bolt so we're gonna have to fire a missile at him as he passes the 50m mark.

Such dissensions wouldn't had been an issue in the Beijing Olympics.

But this isn't Beijing. This is one of those western nations who always point the human rights finger at China and claim that they have western democracy. In fact, the military presence at the London Olympics will make the Beijing Olympics look like a Green party conference.

There are quite a few wisecracks on here thinking this story is funny, but try to imagine if your government placed anti-aircraft missiles on top of your home without consulting with you first. This sets a precedent, which means that the ministry of defence can use your private home for military use in peacetime without consultation.
