It's a standard practice during state visits - even if probability of threat is remote it is much safer to lock jokers up for a couple of days until the visit is over and then release them.

Sounds all a bit Stalinist.

How was your roast dinner?

Pretty good, but very little actual roast beef

You naughty boy, AtW. You nearly had me thinking that you believed what you wrote.

Eh? They just did their job - followed report from member of public, they would have been scum if they locked them up without charge forever or made stuff up, but they were released - next time they'll think twice before making such jokes, in the USA such jokes in relation to US president is punishable pretty harshly.

I see that the police have released those Algerian street cleaners 'without charge'.

The Metropolitan Police said the searches of the premises had been completed and had not revealed any weapons or suspicious materials.

The BBC quoted Scotland Yard sources saying that the men posed no credible threat, while the Sunday Mirror reported that the men had simply been overheard sharing a joke in their canteen.

He made it!

Good ol Popey.

Huge sighs of relief all round.

True. But as we don't see 7 hills, a wolf suckling a pair of twins and a long haired greasy wop on a moped we should assume he's safe.

I'm reasonably confident the Romans were not Italians.

Where is the "Andyw is the Pope's double and would take the bullet for his Popeyness" option?

I've always been a bit puzzled as to why the Pope needs his bulletproof Popemobile. After all, if he's God's messenger, wouldn't he be protected. And if it is his fate to be killed, isn't he defying God's will by trying to prevent it

Maybe he knows something we don't.
