Everyone talked about tanks as ww1 winners. But people don’t quite realise the stupendous artillery advantage the allies had. 2 or 3 to 1 by the end of the war in places. And significantly more shells. There’s a reason we are still digging then up today

About fucking time

Yup, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=horse+gas+mask&t=fpas&iax=images&ia=images - loads of varities though I’m not sure on numbers deployed. Due to the rather static lines of defense I do believe the second world war actually saw more horses used! The nazis were always scrambling for oil and petroleum and thus they utilised stupendous amounts of horses

The thing about air: there’s a lot of it. Not many gases take that long to settle/dissipate. And a gas mask is pretty effective at filtering. I do imagine worst case scenario in the heaviest bombardment is a brief evacuation of current line of defense only, as this is what happened back in the somme. It was far more effective vs artillery: artillery regiments weren’t equipped as well and thus they were denied counter battery fire for enough time to allow front lines to cross no mans land. Which were backed up by creeping barrages, which I haven’t read much out in Ukraine yet

Gas in WW1 changed the battlefield for about 6 weeks whilst they scrambled for gas masks, but after this it didn’t have the effect either side thought it would. A stupid distraction that will earn Putin and his generals a trip to the Hague for sure

Too much wiggle room imo. If your business needs out of hours support: pay on call rates. Nobody should be contactable outside of office hours

100% this isn’t a lost technology, it “just” needs some machines built

We are all smart enough to be in MI6. Go have a read about their internal mole hunting

Far right now needing proscribed. The fact that they have so obviously infiltrated XR with spies (no doubt to father more children and fall in love with more youngsters) and then lock them up for 5 years, but saw just 1 arrest speaks volumes about our policing and MI5 priorities. Starmer with a chance to change this, bet he doesn’t though!

Ooft, pretty shocking stuff. Canadian team needs hit here, not just individuals, as this will have been sanctioned by those at the top even if they don’t admit it
