10 Moscow 050.jpg

            In 1980 the British government conducted Operation Square Leg, in conjunction with NATO, to assess the realities of nuclear attack. Together with many other mysterious assumptions (seven-day warning, no detonation in central London), it is imagined that the populace would spend its last week stocking up with food and turning its back gardens into shelters - in other words, digging its own grave. Because when you stagger out of your shelter, following the 'All Clear' (all clear for what?), the only thing worth doing would be to stagger back in again. Everything good would be gone. You would be a citizen of a newtown called Necropolis. Nuclear civil defense is a non-subject, a mischievous fabrication. It bolsters fightability. It bolsters thinkability.
