Pretty much, although the German air force losses were also a factor, the provision of fighter support was decreasing and the decision to switch to the Blitz was partially influenced by resources and the experience of the Spanish civil war. This wasn't specifically limited to London though, the Germans were bombing most British cities that were in range. Without fighter escorts targeting British airfields was increasingly dangerous (Especially given the use of Radar which was effective in allowing British Fighters to intercept German aircraft). Yeah, RADAR kept us in the game long enough for the Germans to make tactical errors. Goring was a knobhead and Hitler should have kicked his arse out earlier.

Hitler's classic failure was in trusting his 'political officers' more than his military officers. Letting Himmler have so much control over the Waffen SS, Goering over the air force, rather than actual qualified proficient generals (of which the German war machine had plenty of). One of the surprising successes of the Blitz was the Anderson Shelter, which had been judged as useless, but made available because 'it was better than nothing' and would be good 'for morale'.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

To be fair, I think this is a much more valuable discussion than wondering whether it's ok that a fictional, time-travelling, alien with two hearts and the ability to change appearance every couple of years will have breasts or not.

Spot on. The Dalek tendency to utter all their dialogue as if they were on the podium at the Nurenburg Rally is a dead giveaway :-)

Time lord is a title, Romala was also a Time Lord. Obviously they're less gender specific than us non-progressive space monkeys.

I just see this as another attack on masculinity by the entertainment industry.....Of course you support it....it's 'progressive/regressive' and a utter load of wishy washy nonsense. The day that an equal number of girls want to do all the dangersous and hard jobs that men are attracted to is the day I start considering 'equality'. Sure these activists want all the good stuff related to men....But men also disproportionately do a lot of downsides in society.....Feminism is most definitely not about fairness. All I see are activists and unelected 'progressives' in positions of power pushing ideas that are complete and utter unreality and not a balanced reflection of society. Equality does not exist in nature and I'm sick of this regressive ideological nonsense.

Its not an attack on masculinity, masculinity is fine - all that's happening is the disparity in gender power is shifting, and all of a sudden people feel attacked, when all that's happening is a shift in the bias against women in entertainment and their role in society. How masculine can people be if they're squealing and ranting because a woman is playing Dr Who. Originally posted by Stirlingsays

If a woman wants to do a hard and dangerous job, I'm happy for her to do it, because I sure as f**k don't want to do it. I don't understand why anyone would want to do a hard or dangerous job just for the jollys. Originally posted by Stirlingsays

All that good stuff like equal pay, the same regard from employers, the chance to do the same thing that men do, like play the lead in a Space Opera TV series rather than just the cute sidekick.

How unreal, and unbalanced. If someone can do the job, then they can do the job, that's all that matters. Now I don't think you should be in the Para's if you can't complete the training, but that's fair if it applies to everyone equally. If some bird can do it, then fine she's a Para. People shouldn't be precluded from doing something because of the attitudes of other people towards them. Its has to be about whether they can do the job or not. Originally posted by Stirlingsays
Equality does not exist in nature and I'm sick of this regressive ideological nonsense. I think people feel threatened, because their power structure in society is being reduced towards a goal of equality. What is this nonsense. We don't exist in nature, we wear shirts and trousers, live in houses and post on the internet. Hardly anything in our existence is based in nature. But come on man, its a kids show, about a alien that transforms upon death into a new physical reality. Who cares if its a woman, or a man - the f**ker isn't even human.

I think the issue is that once equality is achieved then superiority is the next goal. Also, that 'equality' doesn't really mean equality, it means selecting the bits you like at the expense of someone else. The have your cake and eat it approach if you like.

Nick, how can you complain about the comments others make when you kind of do the same thing? Women gaining the vote came from first wave feminism and is obviously a good result. Though I would probably restrict voting rights to tax payers....with exceptions to people like carers...who are workers in all but name.
