Protect, Survive and Shop Normally

Although a nuclear strike by the fiend Putin is considered unlikely to the point of unlikeliness, officials are naturally engaged in prudent planning for the eventuality. Their main concern is preventing panic buying, which might inconvenience the all-worshipful markets just when the Truss threat has been dialled down a defcon or two. Apparently the measures for preventing panic include talking to journalists and getting the unlikely threat of nuclear war plastered all over the headlines; which is certainly a prudent enough measure to keep space from being wasted on anything that might actually be happening. Fortunately, even in the unlikely event of nucleaer weapons being used there is a strong likelihood of their being used in error, so the likely retaliation might very possibly be limited to millions, rather than billions, of acceptable casualties.
