In 'The Guardians' we follow the reactions of the British Government to the attacks in Paris on the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo and the Jewish supermarket. Their concern, of course, is of repeat attacks in Great Britain and, in particular, on the vulnerable junior Government ministers who do not have police protection. With each Government department anxious not to increase its spending, providing extra protection would be costly. It is decided to recruit recently-retired members of the armed forces, mainly with the rank of sergeant and with active front-line experience in Afghanistan. Fifty would be initially required, with a reserve of another fifty, all placed on a twelve-month contract that could be extended.
