Weed identification

Can anyone identify this weed growing between the paving please. It has tiny leaves (50p coin included for scale) and seems incredibly hardy, seemingly resisting chemical attack and my flame thrower. It looks like a kind of duck weed except the leaves are not thin. Though tiny, on close inspection they have a ’cactus’ type texture. I’ve noticed the same stuff growing between some of the less trodden areas of the block paving in the main street. The first rule of war is to 'know your enemy' so, what is it and how can it be destroyed ? (Would prefer to kill it rather than dig it out)

Many thanks ! The Telegraph article mentions 'Advanced Moss Killer' from Bayer so I'll seek some out.

California Orange.

Would prefer a few 40 gallon drums of AGENT Orange if I could get hold of it - and a 'Huey' to spray it with !
(needless to say I once saw 'Apocalypse Now' and never quite got over it)
