One night 45 years ago a brown envelope dropped through the letterbox at LOP Towers, giving #LeedsOtherPaper one of its biggest scoops. It was a leaked copy of the government's hitherto secret instructions on what to do in nuclear war. At the time, #ProtectAndSurvive was as scary as it was risible.
