"National security," is the term I believe we're meant to use, Peter.
Yeah, yeah - but I remember starting work at the HoC in an office overlooking the car park a couple of years after the infamous assassination of Airey Neave. I had a gallery and lobby pass for six years. I don't ever recall security passes, or even a gate on Downing Street.
I feel much less secure now than then, and I suspect a lot of other people do to. Gun toting policemen, security passes, banning demonstrations and blockhouse cordons are not my idea of achieving national security.
But if Gordo says so, who are we, mere mortals, to argue?
Amen to that, brother. Amen to that.
