Hmm,

I wonder if this carbomb business will end up being used as an
argument to pedestrianise, or at least get rid of all parking on,
lots of roads in central London.

One of the reasons why they keep looking at pedestrianising
Parliament Sq is that it'll protect the HOP better from car bombs.

But then, one of the reasons why they say they can't pedestrianise
the Square is because they say too many people will be able to
loiter in the area and that's also a security risk...

One of the other problems is that it's a rather vital link in the road
network. Because that bloody great palace thing stops there being an
embankment in that area.
