Totally agree w/ the Mayor, desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm sure a RAF pilot or two went up with a busted plane or not enough gas or something, knowing he wasn't going to make it back during the Battle of Britain. Sure, there's a difference, but is it a _huge_ difference? I dont' think so. We'll never know how intense British resistance would be to occupation, since the Germans never crossed.
I'm also inclined to believe that the Mayor of London has a better feel of the pulse of the British than, say... us.
