The Wartime Olympics



Not content with turning London into an armed encampment for the duration of the Olympics, the authorities are also keen to control the airspace above the capital.

The Telegraph reports that the MOD will take control of most of the airspace over the South East, in an area from Brighton to locations 15 miles north of Stansted and Luton airports together with the Thames estuary in the east and to the west of Reading.
RAF jets will be stationed at Northolt, close to Heathrow, for the duration of the Games.
 
This will be first time that airspace above London has been controlled by the MOD since the Second World War.
 
Is hosting the Olympic Games really worth all of this?
