Wrong turning

Just as a thought... somebody in O.G mentioned, re: the events of 'Turn Left', that they could breathe a sigh of relief that 'they wouldn't have been affected' by the events in that parallel Earth (e.g. nuclear explosion in south of England, refugee programme, Labour camps, "England for the English" etc) as they were upper class and living in the North. (lucky bastard!)

This prompted a 'would YOU have been safe?' discussion based mostly on location, but that misses a couple of points. Firstly, the glaring fact that the Noble family are decapmed to Leeds; secondly, that gun-happy soldiers are on the streets; and thirdly, the 'foreigners relocation' programme would probably not stop at just getting rid of 'the non-Brits' (does it ever? The Nazis wanted rid of first the Jews, who they saw in racial terms, then everyone from gays, Communists, gypsies, the mentally ill, yadda yadda...).

So whichever way you look at it, the 'Turn Left' social order is one that's shot to fuck and nobody will be exempt.

(there is a fourth point, and that's that according to Mrs Noble "it's not safe at night!!" ... but then, that's one point which seems, sadly, to genuinely be reflecting the way the society we're actually in is going.)
