My first question is can anyone think of a more difficult place to secure than London? One of the biggest cities in the world had to spend millions on security against terrorists and demonstrators. Wouldn’t a quiet resort in Switzerland have been a wiser choice for a gathering of the G20 financial talks?

My second question is why did the wives have to attend, when it was going to be all about serious economic discussions? Perhaps they all went by coach on a guided tour of outlet stores?
