This could end up a nuclear war. Even if the UK isn't hit directly, I imagine it will affect us environmentaly and it definitely will hit us financialy, just as we recover from a pandemic and face other issues.

If the UK is hit in retaliation for helping the Ukraine (as Putin has alluded to) then God help us all. Yes, we could drop ours on Russia, but we would still suffer.

After watching War Games, Threads and When the Wind Blows I hope I don't survive the initial hit, especially as the time I have left is suspected to be limited.

During the Cold War the Government had a series of short films called 'Protect and Survive' that would have been broadcast in the run up to a possible nuclear attack, they are available on YouTube if anyone wants to watch them. They look hopelessly out of date and a lot of the information is now regarded as pointless eg if you are outside when the alarm sounds, lie on the ground and take your doors off their hinges to create a shelter in the home if you gave no cellar. I suspect it would take most people more than two minutes to find a screwdriver!
