Bermuda Short


Many people ask me what applications I can envisage for the remotely-driven maritime patrol drones featured amongst these posts (Ed. They don't).

Tuning in momentarily to daytime TV however, as one can be forgiven for doing over a corned beef sandwich, I discover how both the coastguards and police force in Bermuda use expensive and environmentally damaging jet-skis to patrol their shores?

In a world where I have to drive semi-trailers around Liverpool docks it seems unfair that others get to spend time being paid for cruising tropical islands checking fishing permits are in order.

I say to them: "Get off your jet-skis and onto a monitor in a windowless room like the rest of us!".

What Bermuda's public services clearly need is Elon wielding his chain-saw.
