The Eagle will have to land elsewhere in London!

   He told us of a conversation he’d had with his passenger – a long-time Dial-a-Cab account holder in Upper Brook Street – about the serious concerns of those who either lived or worked in close vicinity to the United States embassy.
   "He told me about the group of locals who had been battling for several years to have the embassy moved to another location," said Bill. "With the area surrounding the embassy becoming more and more of a no-go zone with concrete bollards seemingly forcing traffic further and further away from the US building, it seemed logical that someone, somewhere was going to attempt some form of terrorism and that as they were being forced away from the building by the various security measures including 24-hour armed police personnel, anyone desperate enough to try leaving a truck-load of explosives was likely to cause more damage and fatalities to the workers / residents in the surrounding area than to the embassy itself."
   Call Sign spoke to one of those in The Grosvenor Square Safety Group who told us that although it might appear to outsiders that the embassy was safe, that did not take into account the fact that those on the outside of the blockades were not. We were told the names of some of the residents who were battling to have the embassy – which has been in and around the area for over 200 years and at 24/32 Grosvenor Square for almost 50 years – and it read like a who’s who of the rich and famous. In fact, the last people you would expect to become militants! But they have!
   The group have burst into meetings, placed full-page anti-embassy ads in The Times, The Washington Post – although not, apparently, in The Sun! One of their number, Romanian Countess Anca Vidaeff, even went on a hunger strike.
   But now The Grosvenor Square
