Riot Control and Dispersal.
Every police force and Paramilitary Police have developed their own types of riot dispersal vehicles to meet the needs of the various situations that may occur? Many countries including the U.K do use semi-militarised vehicles as in N-Ireland, but France, Belgium and the U.S.A. have also those types to deal with bomb and gunfire.
The riot control vehicle was developed from both the early armoured cars and armoured personnel carriers, which were of military usage. From 1947 what we have today began in the United States, being developed from military trucks adapted to deal with the Gangsterism of the 1920'-30s.
Shorts-Landrover developed the Simba series of armoured vehicles from the early 1970's to the present, armour plating was an essential to these waggon's from IRA, Loyalist and other smaller factional groupings. Blast, nail, pipe bombs, Snipers, sustained machine gunfire, petrol and other mixed concoction bombs were the main threat in the major towns and cities!
But the former RUC Royal Ulster Constabulary, had relied on the Thompson's Handy Andy truck conversion from 1922 to 1969, but in the Ulster countryside it was the landmines and home-made Culvert bombs that were fatal to these new Land rovers?

Airbus has saved the Day?
Jobs in N-Ireland are safe for now?
The PM made a mad rush to the EU to save Canadian plan maker jobs in East-Belfast, but one has to wonder at what cost? From this one move it looks like we will be staying in the EU after all and our media is telling us a pack of crap lies?
Airbus on the other hand will want to develop this aircraft into its own portfolio and eventually make it its own! The question still remains, will it be able to break into the U.S. market as being hoped for or will the U.S. President Trump continue to increase import taxes?
Now you know what it is like to have a good idea and find that you invention can be blocked by others, who believe it to be a threat to their economy or business and how political pleading can overrule elections and the will of the people?

Canadian Bombardier CS100/300. Part-Two.
N-Ireland Costs.
It looks as if the deal with the DUP has now paid off with the probable closure of the Sydenham Bombardier works and the loss of two-thousand skilled jobs? The British government will not give in to the U.S. now that BAE has laid off workers in connection to its reduced production of Hawk and Typhoon jets, with a slump in the Persian Gulf sales department?
The U.S. will just keep increasing the tax tariffs on Canada, until they are re-assured that the U.S. aviation industry is secured. The one point of a thorn in the flesh is the Belfast plant and the incentives that have been poured into over the years peace-process or none the U.S do not care!
Canada's hope now lies in the world market, but these aircraft are up against similar competition by Brazils Embraer E-170.190/5, Russia's MC-21 and the Sukhoi Superjet-100/200. Meanwhile both China and Japan are developing similar sized aircraft for their own markets?
Both Boeing and Airbus currently hold the world market in a very large range of aircraft, Boeing 737-6/700, Airbus A321neo, A319/18, that are all similar to the CS100/300?
But what Bombardier has, is that their aircraft meets the replacement criteria for the recently retired Boeing 737-300 series and its short runway ability? This does not mean its a STOL type, but rather it can handle smaller runways and airports, where other aircraft need longer runways?
Perhaps the real truth is U.S. Jealousy over missing a small advantage in the aviation market? AFRICA?

Off to War Again?
HMS Queen Elizabeth is Preparing?
It looks as if we here in the U.K. are off to was with N-Korea soon, one thought it was going to be Russia? But it looks like we will have to support the U.S. President Trump and His U.S. forces in the far-east?
Britain was involved in the first Korean peninsula war, which brought about N and S-Korea, at the cost of 20% loss of Korean lives! The North-Korean leader is portrayed in the Western media as mad, but the reality is far from that claim!
The British Royal Navy will be putting our new aircraft to the test in the China sea and joining other NATO forces. One hopes that neither China nor Russia get involved in military action, but rather diplomatic roles?
This new carrier will prove itself with the Lockheed Martin F-35 deployment, and its range of BAE Missile systems, because it may get battered from N-Korean defence systems? It is not clear what Britain's role in this war is to be as yet?

The U.S has threatened a Nuclear strike, the first since 1945 in the region! The great dangers, will be if Iran, Pakistan get involved? It is estimated that thirty-one million people will die and a further ten to fifteen million suffer from the radiation fall out?

Canadian Bombardier CS100/300. Part-One.
Boeing Lawsuit!
This is the problem that one faces today in the aviation industry and business, that new aircraft types are being penalised by the new U.S. administration if they want to enter the U.S. market? The U.S., China and Russia dominate the world, because of land mass size and difficult environments from cold to hot and mountains to deserts!
The U.S. remains the most busiest air lanes in the world, after Europe and the Far-East, Boeing is perhaps the worlds largest supplier of both civil aircraft to military and its sees Bombardier over the border as serious competition in relation to several of its current models.
The Canadian CS100/300 is a breakthrough for Canada as its first viable Jet airliner, Bombardier is also successful in its business class Jets!. In recent years Swiss Air has seen a potential new market for the Bombardier biz jet in short haul and low seating capacity and the CS100 meets their needs.
Delta Airlines in the U.S. has also seen a gap in the market in relation to seating with the new Canadian jet and this will outdo Boeing in relation to their popular Boeing 737 family, types 600/700/800 and the newer version of the 900/MAX.

Cycling Safety?
New laws for road users?
The law will have to be changed in the light of recent events, were a man who killed a pedestrian on a bike with no breaks got off with it? Currently there many other forms of people powered transport on our roads and pavements, such as skate boards?
Collision meant or not will continue to be a problem, when people continue to give up on the right of way and yet expect to covered by Insurance and others laws that do not exist?
With the many new ideas of two wheel travel none of them are as safe, despite in some cases being viable in airports and factories for inspections?
The Bicycle still is up there as King!
