Things we learned from LHF


1. London has no reliable law enforcement. All police are either corrupt or incompetent.
2. When visiting London, foreign heads of state and/or government have to wait in traffic like everyone else, or just sit on their riverboats, lounging around in the open, with only one security person.
3. No one cares that the rulers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan all got cruelly cut down, because the POTUS and PMotUK got away, and that's all that matters.
4. A helicopter is called Marine Two because it's right next to Marine One, not because the VPOTUS is on it (he isn't).
5. If you want to drone-kill a big terrorist, you just take your mole's word that there are no collaterals around, rather than doing anything that would check to make sure of this.
6. When you evacuate a soon-to-explode crashed helicopter, you don't have to *run the hell away* from the crash site, it's perfectly okay to just stand right outside the death trap and wait around in an area which is likely to be full of enemy agents.
7. When the PMotUK dies from *heart* complications caused by *knee* surgery, no one immediately suspects that foul play might be involved and that they should resolve the matter *before* lining up all the world rulers together in one city.
8. Londoners are the most obedient people in the world. When an alarm goes out to get off the streets and hide indoors, *everyone* complies, even the homeless winos and junkies.

9. A terrorist hailing from a region known to be one of the world's more "troublesome" spots manages to infiltrate his men into the Metropolitan Police and British Army Guard Regiments without anyone conducting background checks whatsoever.

10. If any of us (Americans) are about to be beheaded as the world watches on YouTube - and haven't been elected President - we should demonstrate our bravery and resolve by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

reply

11. Terrorists can second guess that the French President will be petulant and wait on his barge transport for several minutes so that he may arrive late. They can perfectly time this and arrange an explosive barge to pass by.

12. If you're about to be beheaded on YouTube, and you happen to be the President of the U.S., you might as well recite the oath of office. You might not get another chance.

13. Banning is made from "bourbon and poor choices."

14. VP Allan Trumbull does NOT know the joy a man feels pulling a 70-pound king mackerel out of the waters around Jekyll Island.

reply

15. After London falls, the remnants of the Parliament will install Jeremy Clarkson as PM.

16. When nine major world leaders show up in public, London will only muster a crowd about three people deep in Trafalgar Square.

17. a single person has admin access to the power grid, the public transport system, CCTV footage, police comms, and military/government security comms.

18. You can smuggle in and plant no fewer than three large car bombs, and at least two demolition-grade bombs into the most heavily surveiled city in the world.

19. You can wire the BT tower for a professional-grade staggered demolition without anyone noticing.

reply

20. Terrorists are only capable of shooting one person at a time before flinching and waiting for return fire
21. Intentionally smashing a hole in the bulletproof rear window and ripping off the side door is the best way to keep stray bullets from killing the President

reply

22. A windows of a bullet proof car will stop bullets but not the heads of people wearing motorcycle helmets.
23. Just in case the POTUS escapes in a helicopter you should have men on every roof top with shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles. Nobody will notice.
24. If you are on a helicopter and someone yells "brace yourself we are going to crash" that means just sit down - ignore the seat belt, it isn't needed.
25. If you are a helicopter pilot and being shot at just fly straight and don't bother trying to go higher or anything.
26. Secret service agents can only use pistols and never carry or have access to anything else.

27. When trying to leave London by helicopter to escape a terrorist attack, fly at low altitude over the center of the city, just at the right height to enable terrorists to shoot stinger missiles at you.

What else would you have him do? Cry like a baby "Don't kill me? Waah wah waAAAAh?"
