I'm surprised they're allowed to have sharpened pencils and bic pens...they are pointy ya know..
cattle prods could be used as a non-lethal method of subduing an attacker or rioter.
What's surprising here is that the Brits find this surprising.
Some of then are fond of brushes.
re the small arms and bugs, does anyone think OUR embassies in foreign countries don't have all this and much more?
the torture implements are more interesting, I wonder how common interrogation materials like this really are in embassies?
" Arrest him."
None of these items would be covered by british law. Inside the embassy, they are pretty much exempt, as I understand the concept of diplomatic immunity.
If someone wants to arrest him (if he is at large) the only folks with jurisdiction are the iraqis.
It is a shame there isn't (to my knowledge) a more conservative tv media in britain. A minimum of perspective on topics like this would bring the media 'story' down in a second. Guns in an embassy is SUCH a non-story it should be laughed away. Re the torture implements, who wants to be more embassies in the UK than not have some of their own?
