Alternative parliamentary site

Country estate that turned into parliament :

"For that was their task. Having signed confidentiality agreements, the 100 officials were quietly taken to view the chosen site for a temporary parliament should London suffer a devastating terrorist attack."

Is it me , or is it them? Why do I get the feeling I am going nuts when I read the news. The British Parliament has practised being a parliament in a stately home, Bramshill House. They have all signed confidentiality papers, but we all know about it, we know where it is, we know they have set it all up and what it's all about. Pardon me for being rude, but wouldn't anyone who wanted to harm the British Parlaiment now be able to damage that house as well as London? The British Parliament has only moved out of London once in 1681 when Charles II moved paliament to Oxford. It sounds very unsafe now we all know about it...but the best bit is the plumbing is not up to standard and may well be a source of legionella and if they've already been there, are they not at risk? Sounds like a bit of a playground though, with all the tennis courts, football pitches, snooker room , sports hall...they are obviously going to get very fit as they hide from those who would explode them. Sorry, but I must be feeling thick today. I do not get it and it actually sounds like our newly refurbished Baxter detention centre, which cannot compete architectually, but certainly can boast some fine sports facilities and cuisine now.
