Big Boris and the Not-So-Big Ben: A Totally Unofficial Guide to a Tsar Bomba Tea Party in London
Let's face it, folks, the news can be a bit of a downer these days. So, why not spice things up with a hypothetical scenario that involves a giant bomb, England's finest cuppa, and a complete disregard for the laws of physics? Buckle up, because we're about to explore the delightful (not really) consequences of a Tsar Bomba rendezvous with London.
Act 1: The Big Boom (and I Don't Mean Fireworks)
Imagine this: a disgruntled pigeon carrying a ridiculously large suitcase (seriously, who packs like that?) wanders into 10 Downing Street. Inside, instead of finding Prime Minister Boris Johnson belting out show tunes, we have a particularly grumpy Tsar Bomba with a case of the Mondays. Kaboom! London ceases to be the bustling metropolis we know and becomes a crater the size of your nan's fruitcake.
Act 2: The Toast is Toast (Literally)
Forget crumpets and Earl Grey! The initial blast would be a dazzling light show, guaranteed to leave you permanently blinded (unless you're conveniently facing the other direction, in which case, kudos for your impeccable timing!). Buildings within a few miles would be reduced to rubble faster than you can say "fish and chips." Anyone unlucky enough to be caught outside gets a free trip to a very exclusive "Meet Your Maker" club.
Act 3: The Afterparty... From Hell
Let's not forget the lovely parting gift – a radioactive cloud that would make Mary Poppins' umbrella look like a pool noodle. Those lucky enough to survive the initial blast would have to contend with radiation sickness that would make a hangover feel like a walk in the park. On the bright side, at least you wouldn't have to worry about rush hour traffic anymore.
So, what have we learned today?
Absolutely nothing that will help you survive a nuclear apocalypse. But hey, at least you can impress your mates at the pub with your newfound knowledge of giant bombs and their disdain for crumpets.
FAQs:

Equal parts boiling water and strong black tea. Milk and sugar are optional, but highly recommended (unless you're a barbarian).

Diplomacy, my friend. Diplomacy. Lots and lots of diplomacy.
