An estate agent’s press release on ‘nuclear war property hotspots’ in Britain has caused uproar on Twitter.

With tensions continuing to mount sharply between America and North Korea, the release was issued yesterday afternoon by online agent eMoov, complete with a map sourced from the Nukemap website.

The  press release said:  “A backyard nuclear bunker can be a cool addition to a property, but can also be a pain to construct so rather than hide away, home owners can look to radiation-free pockets of the nation to save themselves the trouble.”

There is even a handy map sourced from the equally inappropriate Nukemap website.

One person tweeted that they were genuinely in shock over the release.
