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”

    If you desire peace, prepare for war.

    This is propaganda twisted logic at its finest. If you want peace you prepare peace you do not fucking prepare war!

        if the last 1500 years teach you something is that when someone is preparing for war they do not want peace.
