Why is the NATO summit being held in Cardiff?

Although Americans normally think of London as the capital of Islam in the UK (Londonistan), Cardiff is the main recruiting ground for Islamic terrorists in the UK. The police are tracking over 200 terrorist recruiters (source: guy I know who works in the Cardiff police force), and a number of Cardiff's Muslims have already joined ISIS and are over in Iraq and Syria. Cardiff is seriously the last place in the UK that the summit should be held.

I would also like to know why NATO/the police think the best way to protect the summit is to encircle the city centre with a giant fence.

Daily Mail story

quote:

Cardiff city centre has been turned into a high security ‘prison’ with 10 miles of fencing - which is being dubbed the ‘ring of steel’ - ahead of the Nato conference next week.

Police have erected the nine feet high security fencing around Celtic Manor resort in Newport where Barack Obama, David Cameron and other world leaders will meet in Wales on September 4 and 5, as well as the city centre.

...


It is not yet known how much the bill for security will cost but it is expected to be published by the Government after the event.

Gwent Police say the costs will be met by Nato and No.10 Downing Street – which is leading the event - but opponents have predicted it could cost in the region of £50million, according to the South Wales Argus.

The head of NATO is a huge Russell T. Davies fan?

RTD splits time between Swansea and Manchester. I've seen him at Swansea Market a few times.


Cops were absolutely everywhere yesterday in Cardiff. All the fricking trains are running late/long. Buses are apparently even worse. And I have to go to London Wednesday.

They want to go up a hill and come down a mountain.

It's the current location of a Bond super villain Vincent Tan.

I'll agree. I have a few friends from wales and it rains sideways everyday.

Now the southern channel coast is nice right now.

I am told by my English friends that Cardiff has some excellent brews. Personally if NATO is selecting the best places to get hammered as a criteria for their summits then I tip my hat to them and wish them the best of luck.

Hate to stoop to their level but I wish someone would take that evil frick Anjem Choudary out. String his arse up in public and make an example of what being a dumbass brings you......



Not really, but wouldn't mind if he accidentally drowned in his bathtubs or had a freak reaction to some Ibuprofen or something similar.
