An Iron Dome for the UK and Allaying the Blame

On this week’s episode, Peter has finally worked out how to defend the realm (so you might sleep safely in your beds), and Sarah is asking why do some authority figures often go after the wrong people, and leave the real criminals alone? And the pair pore over our mailbag to consider Britain’s place in two world wars, the valuer of spoiling a ballot paper. What happened when Peter appeared the panel of Have I Got News For You (clue: it changed political history)? How he might go about robbing a bank (unsuccessfully). And to decimalise or not? And what that may or may not have meant to the Roman army. On our reading and watch list this week:  ·      What Happened to the Corbetts – Nevil Shute·      The Phoney Victory: The World War II Illusion – Peter Hitchens·      The Guns Of August – Barbara W.
