Defence… Russia has shown how lackluster its standing army is. That’s not to diminish the losses faced by Ukraine. But they believed in their superiority that this three-day special mission has dragged on a little bit longer than they anticipated.
Bolstering our infrastructure is the best defense. And reducing our energy dependencies should be at the forefront. Something which heat pumps are excellent at. Between wind farms, subsidies for solar and heat pumps, we could have a weed ourself off the vast majority of imported energy. Even motor vehicles, a sustained push to make most if not all local traffic either public transport or electric vehicles would render us so much more resilient to the oddities on the current world stage.




One of my in-laws is a member of the constabulary.
And I have made my views on Zionism, and our complicity in the genocide of Palestinians clear.
Whilst I know personally they are socially aware (surprising I know for a copper) these comments usually illicit distinct silence. Obviously a level of professionalism.
But I’ve made it known, I would rather be arrested, tried, and even imprisoned, than to be silent. Then maybe one day in the future when good overcomes evil… I will be on the right side of history.
