The BBC Chairman was interviewed about the situation by their OWN media correspondent, which is staggeringly poor judgement. If you have nothing to hide, be interviewed by someone independent
Another angle. UK Gov owns both the BBC and “commercial “ station Channel 4

And then the BBC puts foot in mouth by issuing an interview of Chairman Samir Shah by its own Media correspondent
Have they learned nothing about impartiality and objectivity?
Am I being overly sceptical wondering what WASN’T said in that interview? Anything “edited out” or “accidentally ignored”?

Did the Sec of War use a Signal group for the interaction with Duffy?
How long does retraining take?
What safety issues exist with reduced ATC cover?
How likely is Duffy trustworthy?

There also needs to be training in budgeting, starting in schools.
This should include an assessment of what is a necessity and what is a luxury

He grew up in the aftermath of his mother dying in tragic circumstances
He chose to abandon his country and marry an actress, who may or may not be a fantasist
He’s old enough to make his own decisions, most of which involve wealth creation - perhaps including this stunt

No. People choose to have a third child in the full knowledge of the two-child cap. People choosing to have a third child without the funds to support that choice are not showing responsibility

But hasn’t there been a privately “owned” database of people built and maintained in Utah for decades? What controls exist on data distribution here?

How ridiculous! The registration database behind this ADSB feed thinks that a 787 is a hot air balloon.

Ah! I produced a 6502 simulator for my final year project of my final year of Computer Science (year of ‘85). Did it so quickly that I got it extended to a double unit project to take a data file of instructions for any of 6502, 6800 or Z80. Even got as far as considering 68000 and Z8000
