20th September, 2025: Man Versus Woman.
I think I’m mildly worried …
Yesterday?
Russian planes flew through Estonian airspace.
As a result?
The Estonian government has invoked Article Four of the North Atlantic Treaty.
The one that calls a NATO council meeting: to trigger Article Five of the Treaty.
The article that says — if I’ve understood it correctly — an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all members, and sees us declaring war on the invading country.
I’ve lived my live in a country that’s not been involved in major military action since the Gulf War.
I’d hate to see Britain — or our NATO allies — involved in one now.
I’d hate to see a world war, come to think of it.
They’re not exactly pleasant …

You’re possibly aware that cyber attacks happen.
And that, recently, UK attacks have happened to Harrods, Marks and Spencers, Tescos and Transport for London.
Well … if nothing else, the teenagers who carried out the TfL attack have been arrested.
Teens who — going by the description given of their appearance in court — were desperately trying to look cool in court.
Hopefully?
The courts won’t go too heavily on them.
It’s almost a cliche, one that’s been around since WarGames, that says that teenage hackers get hired by impressed tech firms.
So turning their lives around should be encouraged: even given the damage they’ve done.
They are, for the most part, trying to impress girls: rather than be actively malicious.
