This book, Early Armoured Cars by E. Bartholomew as Shire 209 Album, (Shire Books being a publishing list of true knowledge of Britain in context of history, geography, society, all things Logical and true, and which get purchased very fast off second hand book stands at archaeology conferences for that reason) was purchased by this writer from an Oxfam second hand bookshop between 55’N-56’N.
Is a bicycle a car? No. The picture above does look more like a bicycle but there must be a tiny engine to be a car, though if it has pedals as looks like then it is a bicycle. Maybe it is a hybrid.
Fast forward through decades going into a century = 100 years, and how has warfare changed? Flying military changed warfare horribly with the ability to drop a bomb from above after the ground level of millennia (yes millennia because warfare is as natural a part of life and death from possibly everything above amoeba level though at amoeba level there is no doubt some localised rivalry but we will never fully know and never fully get the data on that). Fast forward through the decades of developed amunitions, through nuclear bomb through western global politics (that’s the ‘west’ opinionating on global politics) and amunitions and nuclear and social media totally fused, not entwined but fused. Where is the ‘UK’ in this global state of affairs in now 2026?
When it comes to actual physical fighting, which is what war is actually, sorry social media inhabitants but war is actually physical, how is the measurement within the ‘UK’ in the preparedness of its government for real war? The government itself, as in elected representatives, are not the ones who are under discussion for how does the ‘UK’ raise an army, it is amongst the mass of citizens from which an army will need to be raised, over and beyond the existing beleagered troops (beleagered by their own government now), and beyond the existing army it is proving very difficult to find a way of raising that army to equal the level of opinion on global matters which comes from the ‘UK’ government.
So Logically, how different is the ‘UK’ level of defence from this picture of the bicycle/car/hybrid to February 2026?
