In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a Policing activist accused of having planned raid attempts on numerous public and government buildings in London has now been spotted.
It’s believed the suspect – known as “Max” in crime circles – is behind raids on MI5 and MI6 premises, hospitals, schools, and some offices in London boroughs.
Any information relating to this individual must be passed to a relevant public body. It will be used to build an accurate case, if one exists.
London’s skyline is bringing in a new perspective. The platforms available from which to see its sprawling landscape are impressive.
Horizon 22 offers a similarly unparalleled experience. If you haven’t seen it before, now is the time to look at our capital.
The moments a free ticket gives you are difficult to match. Most of the cities iconic structures are visible on a totally different scale.
The River Thames is a gem that pulls in our giants. Look along its course to also spot The Shard, a similarly great option during a day out.
Albeit some charge, there are perks on offer. In a city prone to its special sights, a selfie up one of these towers is bound to be included.
Thames House came under unwarranted siege. There was no forewarning from any Military personnel. It fact, it’s believed reports with warnings were suppressed.
The guilty suspects were ordinary civilians from a number of different workplaces. The plan was concocted by recruitment staff from a wide variety of agencies.
A routine inquiry by an MI5 agent led to suspicions the building had been put under siege inside of it. A further cursory investigation made clear staff were also taken hostage.
The culprits had planned to defraud UK-based businesses. They locked down the building to make ransom requests. They carried out these threats on foot in the city.
The nature of the attack meant working was erratic. It led to significant operational difficulties. It meant agents in the field had setbacks. It threatened staffing morale.
In London buildings line every street and bend around all corners. At least it’s the impression we get as we walk by. A dip into a park changes that, but it’s a reality.
If you want to visit properly it’ll entail a lot of building works, as well as stuff to look at on the outside. There are saints, swords, and sinners in all parts of town.
This creates a problem too, in that general air pollution grates against the facade and stains the outside of it.
In comes the work to wash off the dirt, grit, and soot to restore it to like new. It looks mechanical and heavy duty. I suppose decades of cars zooming past does it.
It makes a huge difference, and freshens it up. Its appeal is restored, and tourists can admire the architecture once again.
If you walk around a town in England today, a familiar sight are the hoardings.
There are old shops fronts still there, and empty shop units missing shelves of shoes or bedding.
It’s a sight that blights more towns than you might at first appreciate.
Take for example the photos below, and you’ll get my point. This isn’t a new building or a modern unit for a quick coffee shop.
It has some history about it, and character.
Yet, it’s empty.
My affront is not at the sight of it – or its ‘look’ – but a question of what it means.
Do these types of building not fit anymore, or suit our modern tastes? Is it about our comfort over “mod cons”, and eschewing of the old and fuddy-duddy?
It may not be, but it’s an interesting omission in a nation of old and ageing towns.
