@coldwaruk Haha! Even that would be better than the reality.
There are many ways for one nation to attack another. Espionage, propaganda, corruption and subversion are much cheaper than military action, and can be far more effective. Especially if the target state (in this case, the UK) cannot bring itself to acknowledge the danger.
Left: Rishi Sunak, "The United Kingdom will not waver in defence of our country" Right: Dominic Grieve, "The Conservative government has turned a blind eye to Russia espionage.. Russian interference became the new normal because we allowed it to happen.. Conclusion of the Russia…
@coldwaruk Wouldn’t be much left! Should I joke about it improving Dunfermline? Also, nice to see where I live mentioned. 😀
@coldwaruk 'Nuclear attack with a fire situation' hahaha oh god.

@coldwaruk '...as long as you wipe the radioactive dust off the bottle...' - and hey presto, that means, of course, the bottle is no longer radioactive...
I'm looking forward to sitting back, cracking open a cool one, and continuing debates about the efficacy of nuclear deterrence after a nuclear war.
Bottled beer not affected by fallout – official. (Daily Express, 18 Apr 1958) #coldwarhist #nuclearwar #beer
@coldwaruk Marvellous press release disguised as news, there.
@coldwaruk Might improve the Flavour if it's Bass beer.
Tomorrow, the BBC will close its sub-network of nine mediumwave transmitters that carry Radio 4. As part of my thread on the history of BBC longwave broadcasting I took a look ⬇️at this often overlooked aspect of R4's transmission story.
Welcome back to this thread telling the story of the BBC's 99+ years of broadcasting on longwave. This brief instalment of the thread looks at the network of low-power mediumwave transmitters that supplements reception for listeners who may have poor reception of 198 LW. 212/
@coldwaruk Interior doors off the hinges, some sandbags, some cat litter, bin liners, parcel tape, some labels and a marker pen. All you need. Inner refuge all the way.
@coldwaruk Photos are rare but National Archives might have some. The USA DCPA civil def HQ in Santa Rosa, CA, was a metal quontset hut with 3 feet of earth on top. No blast protection obviously.
@coldwaruk I have a cellar that I think about converting every now and again
