Our country is allowing the same to happen. I could show you major Muslim infestations in most major cities.

Exactly - starting in Houston, where there are so many that you could not swing a stunned cat in a west-end grocery store without hitting a couple of them!

Churchill weeps for what once was. He warned of all of this.
The sun has set dead to not return on the Union Jack as Britain returns to Serfs and Barbarians within an archaic Monarchy, Parliamentarian police/military state. Buckingham palace will exile within a few generations as it gets more colonized.

Comment: “Obama once stated that there is no effective way to stop suicide bombers and that we need to be more understanding of their grievances, which will bring us all together. What a crock! There is a way to stop suicide bombings. The question is do we have the will to do what the king of Jordan did decades ago when ”Palistinians” were blowing themselves up in crowded market places. Once the bomber was identified, as they have been in London, you round up the entire extended family and execute them right down to the suckling babies. Suicide bombings in Jordan never occurred again once it became known what the consequences would be.”

Britain has brought this on itself. Unlimited Muslim invasion, many no go zones, Sharia law in places, all self inflicted wounds. And now all the hand holding, soothing remarks and flowers at the gate mean nothing to these agents of Satan. Clean out these nests of vipers from your country. What would Churchill do? We all know exactly what he would do to save his country.

Up to 5,000 soldiers could be deployed in total

Why do I think that 15,000,000 permitted civilians, carrying guns as they go about their daily lives, would be more effective?

Stupid limeys. Instead of deploying the army how about you actually arm your police. Billy clubs against IEDs. Brilliant.

Thanks the Lord we live in North America. We don’t have the same percentages as the UK, or the same lack of assimilation. (With the exception of Islamic hell holes like Detroit and Windsor).

During the changing of the Guards, they have over 50 march to the palace from the Guard barracks about four blocks away. They would be sitting ducks for an attack against them.

Forgot about the military band that marches with the troops as they go to change the guards.

Having armed police has not prevented the USA from suffering significantly higher casualties than the UK from Muslim terrorism in the last decade.

I know they are mostly ceremonial but is it possible the Guard could, er, guard? Including themselves?

It's a major tourist attraction with not a lot of security surrounding it. Not only are the personnel sitting ducks but so is the audience. And the symbolism of a bombing at that demonstration of British military tradition would make it a very attractive target.

Winston Churchill:

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science—the science against which it had vainly struggled—the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

Still why the insanity that your country doesn’t arm its detectives or street cops? Insane.

Unless they are there to shut down mosques and start deporting Muslims, it’s just meaningless show to placate the dhimmi/dummies.

They are not mostly ceremonial. They are very well trained infantry soldiers on guard duty - most of the current batch will have seen action when their regiments have been deployed to Afghanistan. They wear their traditional uniforms and carry out some ceremonial parade duties when guarding the palaces but they are real soldiers there to do a real soldiers job.

Cutting back on the ceremonial is not a bad thing as some people seem to want to try and claim. It allows them to focus on their core duty - protecting the Palaces and the Royal Household during a time of increased danger.

Yes, they will have live ammunition. They are on alert.

There are occasions when soldiers on guard in ceremonial dress may not have live ammunition but only in cases where the security threat is assessed as low. As soon as the threat level goes up, they are issued with ammunition.

Soldiers deployed in battledress carrying their rifles will definitely be ready for action. These are highly trained professional soldiers. There’s no reason not to trust them with loaded weapons when the threat is real.
