The Blogger will always get through...

Following an assessment of The Blogger will always get through... I have decided to discontinue its appearance on NBCD.

This is because the subject matter of the blog has overwhelmingly moved from chemical warfare to anti-invasion defences, and therefore not strictly relevant to the subjects that this site covers.

The blog is, however, still available at: http://www.pillbox.org.uk/pillblogs
