@MAGAKITES @factpostnews It builds up in the water pipes while they are closed. When refilling, you need to be careful. I guess they weren't which is why they have to do so much in a hurry.

@simonmontefiore And I thought it was called Andor? The showrunner/screenwriter, Tony Gilroy admitted to taking some ideas from your book. The star, Diego Luna even looks a bit like a young Stalin. I look forward to seeing this version though.

[Hugh Kennedy @hughk]

@Devlinside123 @simonmontefiore A fair bit seems to be known and Montefiore's book does come with references.

@themustufakhan Nobody working at Bletchley Park received any kind of official recognition. Its existence remained secret until the mid seventies.

@SkyerangerNerd @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Cargo 200? Less expensive and easier for the authorities to deal with than the injured, Cargo-300.

@campbellclaret The gulf of america is between their ears.

[Hugh Kennedy @hughk]

@WarMonitor3 There will be many weapons and soldiers there. A 100% legitimate military target. The Ukrainians probably don't have to launch anything that big, just lots of them and rely on Russian air defence for collateral damage.

@TheFl0orIsLaVa They don't and if Putin tries to force conscript for the front in St Petersburg and Moscow, some Russians may finally start to object.

@DrNeilStone Unfortunately it does nothing against two legged parasites of the political variety.

[Hugh Kennedy @hughk]

@sentdefender So negotiation by a real estate broker? Who needs that degree in international relations and ten years experience in Foreign Service?

@terkzer @Classicbritcom And it amused me how she progressed over the years, later presenting The Money Programme. Some of the viewers of her in the latter probably grew up watching her on the former.

@DrChrisParry You might want to study why capital punishment was abandoned in the UK. A difference between the UK and the US is that those accused of capital crimes got the best representation. For everyone in the court, it was a huge responsibility. No mistakes.

@richard_cl30978 @JamesMelville It is hard to satirise politics today. Reality outweirds fiction.

[Hugh Kennedy @hughk]

@DrChrisParry Dogs have been in the ME since way before Islam. They are still kept by many in the ME as they are by Muslims in the UK. The Quran says nothing against them but there are interpretations that restrict having a non-working dog as a pet.

@freyhk @jurgen_nauditt The AML/KYC rules applied in the EU are the same as in the US.

@JohnEmerson0111 @YesterdaysBrit1 He was attempting to drink the RN under the table. I believe the bar stool is kept in the bar where it happened as a memorial to him.

[Hugh Kennedy @hughk]

@YesterdaysBrit1 Didn't they redo one of Buster Keaton's stunts (the falling building front)? Hilarious and completely non H&S compliant.

@industrialpc @greywar777 @ChrisO_wiki @steven_pifer There definitely was for strategic weapons in the USSR. The US had shared some of the principles of PALs with the Soviets under McNamara as there was mutual interest in weapon safety.

@RamiJai123 @ADioumaev @petite_michelle Also, on the maps, I see bunkers but not with the serious security you would get for nuclear weapon storage.

[Hugh Kennedy @hughk]

@petite_michelle There are some proper magazines (earth/concrete) at the NE end of the runway (see google maps). They don't seem to be protected by the serious fences you would expect for nuclear warhead storage.
