So.
Did the army ever show up in London? The TV promised it, but then I got bored. Well, I was already bored, but I got excited by the idea of soldiers running around shouting, or just standing around looking hard.

no, but there's talk of recalling police from around G8, and replacing them with soldiers,
which would make interesting TV if protestor get argy

Eh I was in the air corp too!
And I was only 13 when they gave me guns and bullets. Ok, it was only 15 rounds, and it was on a proper range and everything but I still got to play with an L98. :)
