cold war
I remember the fear and paranoia very well.
Growing up in the UK in the times of Greenham Common protests for stopping Cruise Missiles being stationed there, the rise of CND and then the sense of disbelief when it all ended.
At the time we seemed to have a lot of fears- it was the same time the IRA were conducting mainland bombings as well and I particularly remember the Cold stream Guards bomb and the Leicester bomb (my home town)
It seems weird now that we accepted such a level of horror as the norm.
I blame Nina and 99 red balloons!!
Grazinki!
