BRITAIN IS UNDER ATTACK!



According to a warning from the Defence Select Committee Chairman, James Arbuthnot MP-              

 “…Unless we have a really vigorous approach to defending against the sort of cyber-attacks that are developing at a rather quick rate day by day, minute by minute, second by second, unless we have a really vigorous approach we are at risk of our armed forces as well as the whole of the rest of the government infrastructure being compromised."

What baffles me when we hear pronouncements like this, aired on international, 24 hour news stations, is why are we announcing to potential cyber-attackers that the country is vulnerable to an all-out, concentrated attack?

Preparing to defend the nation in the run-up to the Battle of Britain, would the British Government under Churchill have announced that the iconic and much feared Spitfire was beset by production problems and political doubts?

If the same fixation with supplying news agencies with information 24-7  was happening then, our finest hour would have been our darkest!
