Imagine, the vast majority of the humans who would be offered protection and possibly survive a only people who would survive a nuclear attack would be the very people who got us into the situation in the first place.

Ads really kick in at the wrong time. "In the case of a nuclear attack the following script would be read": <cheery music plays and an ad for buying a car starts running>

There are no official fallout shelters in the UK we are cannon fodder if this were to happen, even at a low yield. I have studied Nuclear war for 40 years. There was once a thriving civil defense corps that had shelters and equipment ready for this situation. But they have long since been disbanded in their official capacity. Even the shelters sold here would not fully protect you as the filtration system would have long since decayed and require replacement.
bear in mind our country is small and a single Russian submarine could scatter Mirved warheads far and wide here. most people would sadly perish. There needs to be a new phase of shelters built in the uk for events like this. Our government just doesn't really give a dam about the civilian population.

"Allowing the Prime Minister to speak to the survivors." So the survivors have to face not only nuclear fallout, but suffer words of wisdom from Boris too. I bet he'd say "We're all in this together" as he sits in his luxury bunker.

If you ever want to see a realistic depiction of Nuclear war in the UK I’d recommend the movie “Threads”

It’s the most depressing movie you’ll ever watch but a perfect display of why we should avoid nuclear war at all cost

[miriamllamas]

"Sorry, Mr Johnson. Your family is not allowed in the bunker. But we understand if you want to stay behind with them"
Boris: "My family is a sacrifice I'm willing to make".

If it was the people who had access to a bunker and not the ruling class and all the world leaders, there would be no nuclear threat

[hitmanjay]

The “remember, there is nothing to be gained by trying to get away” bit got to me I can’t lie…

Meanwhile in the Southern Hemisphere: Everyone shut up and be quite. With any luck they'll forget about us.

Worryingly watching this after Russia has invaded Ukraine....this now seems an appalling possibility

Protect the powerful,
Protect the artwork,
Sod the British public

Some government official: What about the people Mr. Prime Minister?
PM: The peasants? Who cares about them?

[chrisogrady]

0:31 "the likelihood of such an event is incredibly unlikely"
That aged badly

Then “survival skills” learnt in Fallout and Metro would at last be of use!

[matthewbryant]

The government would kill there own family to keep themselves from danger! Biggest cowards on earth. The working class and below would be totally sacrificed without a shed of emotion from them unfortunately

[truthfiction]

There's no problem at all, at least our politicians will be rushed off to safety, that's what matters I guess, right? No wonder we're so eagerly poking the Russians instead of talking peace and reconciling warring factions.

"This is the wartime broadcasting service." *add plays* "I'VE BEEN SHAKIN' DRINKING ALL THIS COFFEE"

"Chilling hypothetical [...] incredibly unlikely UK involvement in a nuclear war"... And here we are on 27th February 2022... 👀

[sarahwoolnough]

I despair, the alarms definitely could be heard through double glazing. HQ and bunkers were part of defence. Most have been decommissioned and sold.

If full blown nuclear war does kick off it's the survivors I feel sorry for.
