BBC Down: The internet responds

But there's more: as a free bonus, without qualms they tell you how hilarious and foolish "the Internet responds" (yeah right) to trivial stuff like the BBC being down. And these people have the audacity to call themselves journalists.

They should be ashamed of themselves and my suggestion is: don't read this stuff when even the title is this obviously clickbaity. They have been spoiled enough, the quality is abhorrent. Best thing you can do in my opinion is adblock, adblock, adblock.

One important part of the UK's nuclear strategy is that the UK Trident warheads don't have PALs - the crews have everything they need to launch. The reasoning behind this being that, in the dark days of the Cold War, it was expected that there wouldn't be enough time to transmit an authorization message in the time between a nuclear strike being detected and the weapons detonating so any retaliation would be based purely on the judgement of the crews on the subs:

This is the title.

I can't imagine there are many people outside the UK (0.88% of world population) who were exactly hysterical.
