Letter: Protests in Genoa
Independent, The (London), Jul 23, 2001 by Robin Ollington
Sir: In view of yet more violence and trouble at a summit conference, the incredible costs of providing security and accommodation and the awful effect upon the city hosting the event, would it not be more sensible if the whole gathering was seaborne in a suitable vessel, liner or even aircraft carrier which could sail offshore as far as possible away from any disruption.
Participating nations all have such facilities that could be usefully employed for the purpose, thus saving the damage and disruption that we are currently seeing. During the Second World War the heads of the allied powers met on board battleships.
