In any case, Microsoft is so deeply entrenched in state digital infrastructure that it seems a practical impossibility to do anything about it. The company has a good 20 years' lead on its competition in bending the ears and getting its feet under the desktops of enterprise and state decision makers. While the UK government has had spasms of promoting open source — most recently in 2017 — these have seen little enthusiasm and less adoption. As SODGR notes, UK state IT lacks co-ordination, leadership, funding, talent and executive influence. 55 percent of personnel budget goes on outside contractors, analysts and consultants rather than full-time staff…
This might seem hyperbole, but the facts are indisputable. The US is not trustworthy - Trump's tariffs break existing World Trade Organization-governed treaties, a cornerstone of international regulation. Likewise, Trump supports the removal of regulatory or legal barriers to AI development, so what would happen if the AI lobby asked for access to national data from outside the US? SODGR is silent on this, because it seemed fantastical even six months ago. It doesn't seem fantastical now.
I also think the UK should get out of Mexico.

Even worse in military gear like jets you can remote disable.

I'm trying to imagine the dinner hybrid dishes. Like you mix mexican flavors with british foods.......and I can't come up with anything besides spicy fish.
I have nothing against britain, but, c'mon. Nobody is going there for the food.

This is false, but being denied spare parts is a concern for any arms importer

Spiced roasted meats, pasties and pies with spicy meat fillings, probably a bunch of seafood stuff, you could probably make blackcurrant in a salsa work depending on what you're pairing it with. Beans are an obvious one too.
And tbh, there's loads of great British food. Roasted meats, soups, casseroles, pastries, deserts, etc. That meme needs to die. It's about as accurate as France always surrenders. They're both WW2 era stereotypes that don't make sense outside of that time period. It's especially hilarious seeing it regurgitated by people from a country who eat "cheese" sprayed from a can.

The USA has been the "big brother" for pretty much all of NATO to listen to since the Marshall plan...

I've been telling this to people for years and for years I got laughed at as if I was a tinfoil hat guy
Now people come to me with "did you know this??? Why didn't you tell me this?" and all I can do is blink incessantly to not strangle them right there and then
