London hit by bombdogs

Chris Morris warned us of the dangers of bombdogs back in 1994. Please watch this – it’s funnier than almost anything that’s been on telly since.

Today, his vision looked to have become reality, as a special police security cordon was set up on Albert Embankment. Gun-toting cops were stopping random characters along the river for questioning, but from what I saw from the top deck of the 344 on Wednesday afternoon, they were mostly dog walkers. However, the security services are clearly taking the threat very seriously.

I love the fact there's a Duck Tours boat about to go past

All very exciting, and wonderful excuse to revisit my ‘The Day Today’ DVD. Full update on today’s exploits to follow later.
