Amazon are/were trialling Drone deliveries, as well as using their fleet of electric vans. My worry with drone delivery is, as the usual delivery drivers don't give you time to get to the door before they hide the package, then will the drones just literally drop the package on the house?

They'll leave it by the chimney.. or your outhouse roof.

There also be lots of instances of drones and deliveries being torn to pieces by angry rottweilers.

Every government says they’re going to do a Defence Review. This means what can we cut to spend elsewhere. There is never a Defence Review where they decide they decide to spend more money on defence.

Technically we now have a militia rather than an army. To be classed as an army the minimum number is 100’000
