    Planning for Armageddon

    Heard this on R4 this morning. Would be a facinating, if disturbing, read.

    I would have thought that rehearsing the end of the world would be a waste of tax payers money.....

      Is there anyone on the CUK boards who should be included in the bunker?

        Evidently not - it was part of the deterrent. The Soviets knew we were serious because we were rehearsing it.

          Not in the event of nuclear war, but I can think of a few who should be chucked in there and have the door locked behind them

            I dont think I would want to be in the bunker. Anyone capable of doing anything would be outside and dead so those who survived would be on a hiding to nothing.
            There is no point saving the great and the good to create a new world order. They would be better off saving farmers and mechanical engineers.
            I am not qualified to give the above advice!

              We're doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed!

              In what little seriousness I can muster in the circumstances, however, we'd have been utterly, utterly fcuked. I'd have been interested in learning what the plans were for the psychiatric care of the survivors who despite no physical injuries would almost certainly be of much greater risk of .

                Easy to say now, but when that siren goes and some government official says to you "Quick, you've got to get down the bunker now", I wonder what your decision would be then?

                    We'd have been fecked full stop. No matter what anyone says about planning for survival we'd have been fecked. There would have been no care of any kind for the survivors. End of the world as we know it.
