The bomber would always get through they said. And they were right. That was what Germany, Japan and the United States found when they finally consummated their decades long threats and destroyed themselves in nuclear fire. In Britain, the wise old men who had steered the National Government through the Great Depression, the German-Soviet War, the Pacific Crisis and the Colonial Wars, had managed to guide Britain and her withering empire between the competing superpowers. And when they destroyed each other and almost brought about total Armageddon, Britain survived. A brief emergency government managed to keep order in the country in the Dying Years of the early 1970s, finally giving way to a restoration of civilian rule. The National Government had kept it's firm grip on power and continues to do so. The political parties have died, giving way to simply acknowledging the Coupon on their ticket. The opposition is feeble and pathetic, if it even exists. They certainly don't win elections.

As far as the government is aware, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the only nationstate worthy of the name remaining on the planet. The colonies and dominions were lost in the crossfire of a three-cornered nuclear conflict, or were lost to rebellion and ennuis decades ago. Ireland is a scarred protectorate. There is talk of reuniting the Emerald Isle with the mother country but most agree it would be too much hassle. The people of Britain try not to think about the howling devastation beyond their country's shores. Confronting the reality of their loneliness would be more than they could take. They take the anti-fallout drugs, try to stay out of sunlight for more than a couple of hours a day and keep their heads down.
