Finsbury Park seemed to stretch for miles. The garbagemen were on strike. So
too, at one time or another, were hospital workers, ambulance drivers,
truck drivers, railwaymen. Also gravediggers: In Liverpool, corpses had to
be warehoused as they awaited burial—yet another long queue that socialist
Britain had arranged for its patient masses.

Fraser Nelson of The Spectator did some number crunching recently and found
a shocking fact: Britain is poorer than every State in the USA but one.
As Nelson wrote on August 22, “if Britain were to somehow leave the EU and
join the US … we’d be the 2nd-poorest state in the union, poorer than
Missouri. Poorer than the much-maligned Kansas and Alabama. Poorer than any
state other than Mississippi, and if you take out the south east we’d be
poorer than that too.”... 阅读全帖 |

通向英国热核武器之路：起步与摸索阶段
总体规划、决策与组织变动：
1954年4月13日：
由理论物理部主导，奥尔德玛斯顿内部成立“天体物理学委员会（Astrophysics
Committee）”，开始对氢弹问题进行系统地探讨：以专家交换意见为主。
1954年7月27日：
英国内阁决定全面展开氢弹研制工作。
1954年11月-1955年1月：
总参谋部同意，“A型热核炸弹”（大型助爆裂变弹，百万吨级别）、“B型热核炸弹”
（真正的氢弹）中，B型才是最终开发目标；威廉彭尼（William Penney，AWRE所长，
1950-1959）承认现阶段应重点开发“A型热核炸弹”。
1955年3月：
天体物理学委员会讨论“A型热核炸弹”设计，确定其代号为“绿竹（Green bamboo）
”，无法确定其设计是否可行，但争取在1957年进行核试验；“B型热核炸弹”——代
号为“绿花岗岩（Green Granite）”——的研发优先性确定为低。

Also, I want to know more about the history of Britain (social, economic and
