// THE TENABLE STANDARD The High Court did not rule UK F-35 exports to Israel lawful on the merits. It found the government’s position tenable within a system designed to defer scrutiny.

Judgment Without Decision: looking back at what happened to all those F-35 parts. The UK government’s position was that the national security cost of suspension was so high that it overrode the IHL risk, however clearly established. www.jonknowles.com/2026/04/the-...

// ENCLOSURE In January 2025 the British government paid £6 billion to buy back military homes it had sold for £1.662 billion in 1996. The Defence Secretary called it a decisive break with the past. It was a ransom. This essay traces the logic behind that transaction — from the original enclosures of the fifteenth century through Thatcher's privatisations, private equity extraction, and sovereign wealth fund ownership — and argues that what looks like policy failure is a constitutional mechanism six hundred and fifty years old, still operating, and designed to be irreversible.
