THE events in Westminster on Tuesday morning remind us there are still ideologically misguided individuals around.

While cycling through the precinct I was reminded of those ugly concrete blocks, designed to protect us. Many locations have bollards in place now, but our council is still left wanting.

Before anyone reminds me of safety trumping aesthetics, that misguided individual only needs to drive down Portland Street to gain unfettered access to a very target-rich environment.
