Not in the event of nuclear war, but I can think of a few who should be chucked in there and have the door locked behind them

I dont think I would want to be in the bunker. Anyone capable of doing anything would be outside and dead so those who survived would be on a hiding to nothing.

We'd have been fecked full stop. No matter what anyone says about planning for survival we'd have been fecked. There would have been no care of any kind for the survivors. End of the world as we know it.
