PC Team Hit Capital

This week four members of the PC team visited London in an attempt to understand this crazy city and how it affects our lives. The visit incorporated The City and the Houses of Parliament amongst other things and the group consisted of The Chairman, CEO, Co-Editor and Economics Editor and are seen here in the inner square of the House of Commons which required numerous security checks and constant wearing of an ID badge to access. The team visited the House of Lords, which made them feel strangely alive after witnessing the hoards of sleepy old men, and also a military ISTAR meeting which they were ejected from so that the top brass could speak more openly about secret military information. In general they were shocked and delighted how easy it is to get into the inner layers of parliament and sit in on various important committees. Also The City was awe-inspiring, as huge monuments to wealth rose up above you, but the team felt a little out of place without their suits and were actually thrown out of a restaurant supposedly because of a City of London law but one could assume there were other motives. But overall what stuck out most was what an exciting and vibrant city it was and how somehow you feel a little empty after leaving it.
