“Trident, rather than a thriving British electronics industry producing Ekco mobile phones, Marconi Playstations and PyePods, is the real legacy of the Dare generation, a bloated, useless monster, rooted in the fantasy that Britain is still a world power. We could have used our brains to produce Braun, but instead we ended up with antisocial welfare cases like BAE Systems and BNFL. Grant Morrison’s 1990 satire of Dan Dare, in which an aged and bitter Dare sees his legacy betrayed by a Thatcher-analogue prime minister called Gloria Munday, was spot on.”
