You know what though? I genuinely love his perseverance to just keep on fighting to get to the top, then to confidently turn around and salute like nothing has happened.
The basics of radar had been around for about fifty years but Randall and Boot invented a component of which the name escapes me. I want to say Megatron but I’m sure that’s from the transformers cartoon. Anyway this component made radar far more real time and accurate which gave us a massive edge.
The nazis didn’t have better technology. They may have had more modern equipment and were more ready for war but while their scientists were faffing around with sick eugenics experiments on twins and babies we were developing radar that went a long way to destroying their air superiority. Also a lot of their top scientists legged it early on to the USA, U.K. and other allied countries because they happened to be Jewish so the nazis shot themselves in the foot on that one.
The IRA and the Taliban as well as other jihadist organisations are abject cowards. They are far too wimpy and pathetic to engage in any sort of open warfare. It’s hard to defeat an enemy that just hides forever.
The U.K. is focused on soft power. We are a superpower in that aspect. We will never again compete with the Americans, Russians or Chinese in military terms. It’s no surprise to me to see the policy report focusing on being the worlds leader in science and technology by 2030. It’s a realistic aim and in all honesty we’ve been the worlds leader in that for most of the last 3 centuries. When it comes to war and conflict it’s very rare you lose if you have the advanced technology. The size of the army matters less and less.
Everyone is confused apart from Lisa. It is quite simple. The protest at Westminster is nothing to do with the Sarah Everard vigil. But they are both entwined. The abuse Davina Mcall is getting from women and the calls to cancel her for daring to voice her opinion is irrelevant and should be dismissed because the debate is around the powers to cancel protests which is why the protesters are shouting “f*ck the police” and waving banners calling men a bunch of bastards. It really could not be more simple.
