The Fall of London

Italian forces have successfully stormed London, and the il Tricolore has been hoisted over the Victoria Tower. Minor fighting continues in some parts of the city, and in an incident this morning several Bersaglieri were gunned down by snipers hidden at the top of Big Ben. After three failed attempts to dislodge them, the entire clock tower was brought down by demolition charges in what Italian officials are describing as a 'regrettable overreaction' by the local commander.
