Actually, if you're putting injured soldiers into a hospital, in an area that is home to many many muslims of which a small minority have already blown themselves up then yes, we should be bloody well guarding them.
I'm not labelling Birmingham as a bad place, its not however, it is any area of concern in relation to terrorism, fact.
You can't walk into a maternity ward without passing through a locked door in most hospitals so, it would not take much to do something similar to the wards where our troops are recovering from their injuries.
It's hardly an invasion of public rights & I'm sure any visiting relatives would welcome the security of their loved ones.
