Cairo erupts - Susan Mubarak rumoured to have fled to London

Hard on the heels of the Tunisian uprising over rising food prices and lack of political freedom Egyptians have been swept up in a movement to overthrow their own western backed dictator.
As suspected and reported in this blog earlier in the week ---> Egyptian leadership stashing a golden parachute?

This event could have a huge impact on the middle east and Europe. Egypt controls access to the Med from the Middle East, East Africa, Asia and Oceania. A toppling of the Mubarak regime could light a fire under other the anti western movements, such as in Saudi Arabia. Potentially we could see disruptions both to world trade and the supply of oil from the world's largest supplier.
