Protect and survive 2004 remix

[The Wooksta!]

With praise to President Blair's wise and illustrious leadership and the care and compassion with which his esteemed government holds each and every one of it's citizens, they've released a booklet to inform us how to protect ourselves if and when Al-Queada finally scrape together enough cobalt from hospital x-ray machines to make a dirty bomb.  

There is also a website to show their wisdom and compassion whilst they are safely tucked up in their beds in their NBC safe shelters and leaving the poor mugs who merely pay their wages to die a horrible death thanks to radiation poisioning, burns and secondary tumours.

However, this link is NOT it.

Didn't the author of that website receive a threatening phone call from the Home Office?  He's about 17 IIRC.

The gist of Protect and Survive was this: If the balloon goes up you've had it. Here's something to take your mind off it for four minutes.

The gist of the official goverment position on potential terrorist emergencies is this:

There's nothing to worry about. Everything's fine. Keep your eyes peeled cos there are terrorists everywhere and a catastrophic attack is inevitable. But don't worry. There are now so many imminent and unavoidable threats to your safety that you'd go into a blind panic if you knew them all, but don't panic. Your life could be snuffed out at any moment, try not to let it bother you. In the meantime, paint your windows white if you think it will help, we don't know. But don't worry. Stay in a permanent state of alert, instantaneously ready for action, but don't worry about it, just get on with your normal routine. Everything is alright. Tony's taken personal charge of your safety. He cares. He really cares. You're all as good as dead for all we know but don't worry about it. We're not worried. Tony isn't worried, especially about you, so don't waste his time by worrying about yourselves. Just maintain a constant state of readiness for the inevitable, but don't worry, no one says it's going to happen. It's just a question of when, not if. Everything is fine. Tony says it's fine. He's a pretty straight kinda guy, he said so himself. Trust him, he cares. Trust him.
