Former armed forces minister James Heappey wrote that many government departments had declined to practice evacuating to a bunker.

On the bunker drill, the former minister said that all secretaries of state - not just defence - have a desk and a bed ready for them in a bunker.

This is not so they are able to survive a nuclear attack “for re-populating our islands after the apocalypse” but “because their departments are as integral to the war effort as the MoD”.

Because it’s precisely these politicians who should be repopulating after a potential apocalypse /s

Alternate title: “Former military guy can only think about conflict and makes war mongering comments to scare politicians and population”

      Not really, but i guess that’s the difference between ideals and reality. So, who is founding this group?

        In the ideal the politicians represent the people. I’m reality it seems they represent whatever gets them money/power.

        So, who is founding this group?

        That’s the good part only the wealthy corporations can afford such things.
