Commons security reviewed after purple powder attack. It's nice to see how much Parliament care about their people. In case of an attack like that the procedure is supposed to be that the chamber is supposed to be closed off while men in containment suits come in and test the material to make sure it's nothing nasty. What actually happened? The Speaker suspended proceedings and a number of MPs immediately dashed out of the chamber to go speak to the news reporters outside on Parliament Green. If this had been an anthrax attack then the MPs would have helped spread it to the Greater London area. Thanks! All this talk of protecting MPs from the public, who protects the public from MPs?
