    Uncovered: a room of the proposed embassy will be slightly further away from the cables than the distance from the pavement which has access grates through which any nefarious activity could already take place.

    So far I haven’t heard anyone raising concrete concerns about this embassy except right-wing shitrags… are there any legitimate ones?

                I did think Hadrian’s Firewall would be a good one, though maybe only if Scotland goes independent :P

    The drawings show that a single concealed chamber will sit directly alongside fibre-optic cables transmitting financial data to the City of London, as well as email and messaging traffic for millions of internet users.
