Their website, and in particular the recruitment section, are so creepy.
There's not mention of bombs. No photos of atomic explosions. The words "atomic" and "weapon" do not even show up in the front page!!! The acronym AWE is instead used everywhere as an <euphemism>.
In the recruitment section we can see a bunch of people smiling: https://web.archive.org/web/20211007213222/https://www.awe.co.uk/careers/working-at-awe/[], suggesting:
> We make nukes, and we do it with a smile!
There's even children <outreach>!!!
<Ciro Santilli> is not against storing a few nukes to be ready against <dictatorships>. But don't be such a pussy! Just say what the fuck you are doing more clearly! You are making weapons to kill people and destroy things in order to maintain the <Balance of power>. If the public can't handle such facts, then shut down the fucking program.
