To the casual observer, the seafront may appear to be pretty secure - helicopters overhead, police marksmen here, wailing sirens there, plus cameras and barriers at every turn.

But I feel we could do with a finishing touch, just to ram the "don't mess with us" message home.

How about a tank outside the Grand hotel?

It might look rather attractive, especially if they keep it there after the jamboree finishes.
