#5  There's already a strong trade in Louisville Sluggers.

Mostly delivered through Amazon, I believe, a nice addition to our balance of trade with Britain.

#1  From the article:

‘We are in unprecedented times,’ he said. ‘At the moment we are doing everything we can alongside the security services to stop would-be attackers and keep the public safe.

‘We have foiled 13 plots since mid-2013 and since the Westminster attack alone we have prevented and disrupted five attacks, but three have got through.

‘The tempo we are working to is extraordinary. We are running 500 investigations into 300 people at any one time.’
