Officials in Lee County, Florida have reportedly banned 140 pupils at Fort Myers High School from visiting London for the city's next New Year's Day Parade, over fears of "trains blowing up" (an obvious reference to the tragic events of July 7th 2005).
The annual parade attracts thousands of performers from across the world, including lots of American pupils.

Jeez - have these officials considered how their attitude will appear to us in the UK, America's principal ally in Iraq? Come to think of it, have they considered how their attitude will appear to America's enemies?
