Is this why they call London "The Smoke"?

If they are not careful, it could cost thousands of pounds worth of improvements to Hackney!!

Looks like you are right ...Cost saving for the price of a box of matches.

"The warehouse is on the edge of the proposed site of the Olympic Village and was set to be demolished in the next few months."

News and great pictures here ...

Maybe the scumverment will now announce that the Olympic plans have been lost and instead 40,000 "affordable" high rise flats will be built, to be offered to asylum seekers on a first come first served basis.

I feel sorry for the rats. Thousands of them will be homeless.

There's a kebab shop around the corner that will be more than happy to take them in. Chargrilled "shiek kebab" anyone?

Sky are now saying it's centered on a disused bus depot. From what I remember of the area it sounds about right.

You mean like they did immediately after the London bombings? Blamed it on a "power surge".

Probably insurance job since Olympic costs are spiralling out of control.

Government will blame the mossies no doubt and push for ID cards and unlimited detention for "suspects"
