It was always said that Thatcher insisted on destructive explosives just in case. she denied it. I guess a nuke was a variant of this myth.

Another urban myth was of a lethal electric fence nr the Dover end. A couple of years ago an illegal managed to walk the whole distance so that myth went pop.

if you like this Edge of Darkness sort of thing have a root into Thatcher's Zircon project.
