I’m from Sheffield: when Threads was made, the air attack warning was sounded (so it could be recorded) at 10am on 4th July 1984: not sure why I can remember it so very precisely - after all: it wasn’t the most utterly terrifying thing that’s ever happened to me - not even slightly😳

Threads scared the Hell out of me in 1984. The arms race was at its height, the USSR was an existential threat and as kids, we honestly thought a nuclear war was likely. CND marches and protests outside nuclear air force bases and sub ports were a permanent fixture, and it just felt like a fuse had been lit on the planet. How sad that for almost the same reasons as back then, we find ourselves wondering the same thing again 40 years later.

Threads and The Day After, both are great in their own way, already knew what would happen after reading Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivor accounts (and yes while they were horrifying in themselves they're peanuts compared to nukes that came later and now) and all the other info I read out there. But watching them helped me put it all into perspective. Right until last year I'd think of survival as well as prevention, now I'm just all about prevention. I'm not a parent, I've nobody to rely on me after an attack, I barely fit in now and get picked on so I dread to think what most people would be like after and physically and mentally I'm already not well, I would not do well surviving a nuke. So now I'd choose to stay at ground zero, but I'd rather they never happen. Please anyone sees this, i know it's easy to think you can't do anything, but please join a CND or Global Zero. With enough protest we can work on getting rid of these things, no matter where we are. There are no winners in any war, but especially nuclear war.

Jesus was left leaning. He certainly wasn't a conservative, considering he spent his entire time breaking down social norms and status quo. He was big on welfare. He was for financial redistribution. When it came to social issues, he handled it very differently than the right does when given the choice. An equivalent example from his time is when famous said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and then proceeded to, as the only qualified person, not do that. The only reason you don't see how left leaning he was is because you aren't from that time. If you were proportionally as conservative then as you are now, you'd be on the side of everything he spoke against.

Debatable. Yes, he was big on welfare (and let's say welfare is something we can associate with the left) but so were the apostles, Peter and Paul but we know their view on LGBT - by the same token should we label them as far right... It's not that simple.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." Socialist seems like the right word for it, but yeah
