Gatwick: The Wider Lesson

The drone threat has been obvious for some time. So why did it take so long to get the assets and personnel in place to provide protection from this drone? Why did all those people have to experience such discomfort, distress and uncertainty for so long and will continue to do so, because every hour wasted requires several hours to correct the knock on?

Is this bad planning or a failure of the responsibility of governance? Is this  shattered Tory party capable of executive governing and is this parliament, riven with factions, capable of legislative oversight? The answer to both has been obvious too for some time. No. And if a lone drone can cause this, just imagine what a hard Brexit will do. Forget about the silly concept of a managed no deal Brexit. To manage anything you first have to have competent managers.

Enough said.
