Well, at the pub last night someone was trying to convince us it was
just like how the nazis gained control in the 30s...

What's actually happening is the annual Commonwealth Heads of Government
Meeting, which is being held this year in the UK; to be more precise,
in Edinburgh.  The city's hotels are hosts to the leaders of around 50
nations across the world, and their advisers and entourage.  Not
surprisingly, there is a noticeable security presence for this week.

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, yet its residents seem to have two
minds on whether its a proper capital or not.  They want the prestige,
but not the inconvenience.
