Today, in preparation for the London Olympics, a taxi driver jumps off Tower Bridge in protest. The United Cabbies Group has organized a protest because of 100 miles of restricted cab lanes, about one-third of their routes will affect two out of five cab drivers.
The man dove 25 feet from bridge to water without being harmed. He was then arrested after he was pulled out of the river. A spokesperson from the Port of London Authority commented.
“This was an absolutely crazy thing to do. He could easily have killed himself.
I guess the big plunge made his statement.
The games haven’t begun and there is a strike. I do not believe these games will go off without a major incident. Not enough security, to small of town. and lots of Muslims.
I can already tell this is not going to be all fun and games. I wouldn’t waste a cent on these games.
London prostitutes cleared from

(Snip) Prostitution is legal in Britain, but keeping a brothel is outlawed, as are other related activities such as curb-crawling. London’s Metropolitan Police have denied that
Comments:
Prostitution is legal in Britain but is evidently limited only to parliament and Downing Street.

Teen Yelling ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ Tries Grabbing Olympic Torch in London (VIDEO)
A teenager was captured on video Friday yelling “Allah hu akbar,” God is great in Arabic, while trying to snatch the Olympic torch from a runner as the flame made its way to London for the start of the Summer Games.
It is not the first time bystanders have attempted to snatch the iconic Olympic torch from its carriers, but many observers were quite surprised Friday to witness an unidentified 17-year-old make a lunge for the torch before being tackled by guards alongside the runner. Some were even more confused to hear the young man yell out “God is great!”
