19 Safest UK Places If World War Three Turns Nuclear

 

 

 

Fears of global war are intensifying after chilling threats from Moscow, with Russian state figures openly warning that a nuclear strike on Britain is now “inevitable.” Against that backdrop, security analysts have identified 19 places across the UK judged to be the safest if the unthinkable were to happen.

The warnings follow stark comments from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who laid out two so-called “red lines” that would trigger a military response: any deployment of European troops inside Ukraine, and any seizure of Russian state assets. While Lavrov insisted Moscow does not want war with Europe, he made clear retaliation would be swift if those boundaries were crossed.

 

Russian state television has since ramped up the rhetoric. Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov told viewers that Britain would inevitably face a nuclear strike — comments widely interpreted by Western analysts as an intimidation tactic aimed at Ukraine’s supporters.

 

Security expert Dr Arnab Basu, CEO of Kromek Group, warned that in any major conflict, large urban centres would be the primary targets. London, Birmingham, Manchester and other densely populated cities would face the highest risk, making distance from strategic hubs critical in a worst-case scenario.

 

Property analysts at EMoov compiled data identifying areas likely to sit outside immediate blast and fallout zones if major cities were hit. Though first produced in 2017, the list has resurfaced amid rising global tensions and renewed nuclear fears.

 

The locations are typically coastal, rural, or far from key infrastructure and military assets — places less likely to be directly targeted in an initial strike.

 

The 19 Safest UK Areas Identified:
Cornwall; Weymouth; Folkestone; Dover; Margate; Clacton-on-Sea; Felixstowe; Brixworth; Bideford; Aberystwyth; Skegness; Isle of Anglesey; Barrow in Furness; Lancaster; Whitby; Carlisle; Dumfries; Berwick-upon-Tweed; Inverness.

 

Professor Anthony Glees of the University of Buckingham said Moscow’s threats are designed to apply pressure on Europe, warning that NATO’s absence from Ukraine leaves any European force “very, very vulnerable.”

While experts stress nuclear war is not inevitable, the language from Russia has rarely been more explicit — and the public anxiety it fuels is unmistakable.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Russian figures are openly threatening nuclear strikes as tensions escalate.

2. Analysts say major UK cities would be prime targets in any conflict.

3. Nineteen rural and coastal areas are judged safest in a worst-case scenario.

Well, looking on the bright side ...... that would solve a lot of our immigrant problems.

In case you were wondering 'Basu' is a Bengali name.

I would say Thailand , the further you are from the UK ,even without Nuclear

the better

Isle of wight, nice pubs........

And what will you live on in the meantime?

 

Your cash will be worth nothing, your credit cards will be useless. the only food and water you will have will be in your house. There will be no fuel for your car, no electricity, gas, medicines, doctors or hospitals. No TV or radio unless it is a battery radio.

 

in fact there will be nothing. If you go outside you will suffer from radiation poisoning.

 

And this idiot thinks that those 19 places are safer?

 

IMHO the safest place is right underneath the detonation point.

 

A flash and a bang and it is all over. Who would want to survive a nuclear war anyway?

The definition of WWIII has always been nuclear. Time for all nuclear countries to abide by the UN's Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Enough sabre-rattling until a critical mistake gets made. Then nowhere is safe. Maybe humans aren't worth saving anyway.

No such thing as safe place, if anything turns nuclear.   If the opposition or fall doesn't kill you, you neighbors will for what you have, and they don't.  

 

You don't need to nuke anyone, just EPM their ass, take out their grid and electronics, and let them kill themselves 

Convey island ,nobody would attack there

Cornwall - Plymouth Naval Base, Weymouth - Portsmouth Naval Base, Dover and Felixstowe major ports connecting to Europe, Barrow in Furness nuclear submarine building...

 

Isle of Anglesey, I've been there and rather assumed it already had been nuked!

Utter rubbish.

 

Depending on the number and size of, as well as the material used in, the nuclear weapons, no place is safe - safe from instant destruction maybe, but potentially not safe from the radioactive fall out.  Bombs made using Plutonium-229 or Polonium-210 are the most toxic.

If there is a UN treaty on Prohibition of Nuclear weapons, why not all sit down and sign a similar one on Conventional weapons.

Where's the profits in that.  Defense contractors keep the economy going, as about the only thing manufactured and sold in more than a few countries.   How else would the corrupt folks pocket billions of dollars.

 

USA for example ...

 

 

Add to that, the USA govt itself, being the largers employer, and DOD taking the biggest chunk of course.   MSM pushes the doom & gloom, fears is good for profits.

Learn something new every day. USA = defense, UK = defence, although my spell corrector has underlined the one with the S.

Lots of us generate our own electricity, to power our EVs, power our homes and charge our tablets/phones.

Some of us have our own wells and rice wheat fields.

 

Safest place in the UK ........ Falkland Islands.

Yep ... independence from grid & govt is way too cool.  Even better if grow some of your own food, raise chickens (or rabbits), and live near the water and have a fishing net or rod or 3 

 

Local farm market for bartering, and you wouldn't even need money.   It's all top secret stuff ... shh

PREPPERS UNITE

So they have developed nukes that won't hurt Farage?

Lavrov's sex life must be sad.

Yada yada. Old ugly version Ron Perlman is full of it and pandering to Moscow hawks. Bring it on. If he went through with it, he could kiss goodbye to his family… 200 working nukes will waste the best parts of Russia before they’re ancient pos SS-20s touchdown. Again, Ron Perlman is full of it.

Shouldn't you be thanking RU, for not speaking German as your first language.  RU vs UK, think you need to do a little research if thinking you'd win that one.  How many nuke subs do you have sitting off RU's coastline.

 

UK ... a relevant world military power  

 

How many of your past 'colonies' booted you out ? AI estimates 65 are independent of the ol' British Empire glory days 🙄

 

 

Not that any country needs to be or have a world class military now, but don't let your imagination get the best of you

Are you claiming solar doesn't work in the UK, and they don't have EVs?

And does every house in the UL have solar power, an EV, does every house have it own water supply and fields to grow wheat?

 

If the water comes from the sky, what do you so about the radiation?

 

How do plough and reap the fields when they are irradiated? Where to do take  the wheat to be milled and what do you pay with?

 

Do you have an EV tractor?

 

Where does all the sewage waste go to?

 

Where  do you get fresh or tinned food and what do you pay with?

 

It is nice to have an EV, bit where will you drive it to?

 

What will you do if you need medicine, a doctor or visit a hospital?

 

I suggest that you watch a film called "On The Beach" based on the book by Neville Shute

 

The entire US armed forces is commanded by a Lt Cmdr as he and the crew of his submarine are the only US military left alive in the world.

 

The book and the film are based about Australia which was neutral in a nuclear war.

 

You may even learn about MAD and why MAD exists.

Absolute nonsense.  Unless you are in an underground shelter specifically designed for the long-term survival of its inhabitants after a nuclear exchange - you are going to die. And even if you are in one of those facilities, I pretty much have no doubt that the major nuclear powers will know where the other side's continuity of government underground nuclear shelters are, and they will be some of the primary targets of bunker-busting nukes.
 

To believe that nuclear war is survivable is the most absurd of insane folly.

Absolutely correct.  Russia has been saying that, "If you hit us with a first-strike nuclear attack, we will hit you back with everything we have.  So don't do it."

In Western MSM that gets manipulated into, "Russia is threatening to nuke the world."
Read some Neo-Con war-hawk nuclear strike scenario papers from the likes of the Rand Corp. and the Council on Foreign Relations and those who are openly discussing launching first-strike nuclear decapitation attacks - ON RUSSIA - are Western governments. Not the other way around.  The insane papers stress that the West can make a decapitation strike on Russia and the special people in the government will survive (but it sucks to be common citizens, and of course, Russians...and Chinese). So now they'll roll out "experts" who will tell you fools not to worry, just be in "the right location" and you'll survive.  You fools do understand why the Nazis made gas chambers look like shower rooms, don't you?  It keeps you docile until you are exterminated. 

Fools!
