Go In, Stay In, Tune Out


Preparations for war to date in the UK consist majorly on the PM having mentioned in passing that it's coming to a street near you, and a .gov page on what to do in case of being irradiated. The West now operates a 'rule by slogan' form of administration in which catchy soundbites like 'smash the smuggling gangs' substitute for actions of any sort.

Meantime in Lithuania ~ where I spent much time relating to flying training ~ they are establishing centres where 15,000 adults and 7,000 children are to be schooled in the basics of designing, building, programming and operating drones.

Nothing new, though, the Russians having long organised video gaming conventions for youth, from which participants are cherry-picked for less innocent pursuits.

Have a nice day.
