probably..and all because of EU rules which our politicians blindly follow to a T !!whats the point of having 3 parties who are ALL pro Europe? where is the "opposition" in that?? we've got over 2 million of our own unemployed with a million youngsters unemployed who have never had a job, and come next January we will be swamped by a load of uneducated, unemployed, uncultured ROMA who don't even know NOT to crap in the streets?? bloody gets me!!

OK. I let the post ride because I thought it was about introducing someone to prepping. I don't want any more political talk there are plenty of sites for that and it doesn't help us any.
RE: Getting better all the time? - bigpaul - 22 November 2013
well then, just how do you prep for an influx of people that could undermine our employment and welfare systems? apart from what we are all personally doing?? answers on a postcard please.

Well that might be the case in London BUT NOT around here.! Labour prices are forced down.....food prices are up.....utility bills up, NEW JOBS that's a laugh .....not only part time ....employers want to spread your hours over five days .....making it near impossible to hold two jobs to make ends meet. So what is this to do with prepping....? Everything...... I was talking to a lad that used to work for me.....a good lad , seen him in Aldis ....he asked why? All the milk .....because of the snow.? .....or .......wtshtf.....I was amazed by this....In the car park he carried on.....I started putting some food by ...when I was full time , but those days are gone ...along with the food I put by....take a look at this piece of shit ....pointing to a van....falling to bits ..any work about ? For me I am cheap as fuck these days NONE I say . THink I might loose the house .....his voice turns higher ......Fucking dig in son ,come out fighting I say....he nods his head and says your right........but I can see there is no fight left in the lad ......How can you start being a prepper when faced with this lot....people are just about surviving as it is.......THIS has done my head in...........So What's it like in your area .....spill the beans.
Everyone else round my way, apart from a few notable characters, are skint.
Next year could be interesting. Not where I am at the moment, you're not going to get many Roma coming all the way to Cornhole as there's no work here at the best of times, and it's definitely the most openly racist place I've ever been, so they wouldn't get a very nice welcome regardless.
What can you do to prep for the changes facing us? Try to remove your dependence on the system. Grow your own food, solar / hydro power systems - you get the picture. That'll reduce your outgoings (after an initial expense anyway) - not much you can do about people coming over here and filling the jobs. Well, apart from increase you skill levels. Learn something new (and relevant - a media studies course isn't going to cut it), something to give you the edge over the competition.
I used to think we should unite and fight the system, that was years ago. Now I'm happy to keep my head well and truly under the radar, no complaints, no fuss. Just keep doing what I do regardless.

I lived in cornwall for awhile and my 2nd wife was Cornish, why do you think we moved back home to Devon rather than cornwall??

Its the same up this end of the country, most of the jobs up here are seasonal anyway, tourist, fishing/shooting etc,..we are both lucky enough to have a couple of the few full time Jobs [ Royal Mail ],.. but not the case for most around here,..even in the summer, hotels pay the bear minimum so people are only just managing, so come the winter, they really suffer,..
RE: Getting better all the time? - bigpaul - 22 November 2013
lots of unemployed scousers living in Ilfracombe, work in the hotels and boarding houses during the summer, get laid off in the winter, seasonal work, well if your going to be unemployed you might as well do it by the sea side as be in some grotty city,,,,right?

You're probably a dull MF
If you have a choice of a conspiracy or a cock-up, go for the cock-up.
It's probably civil servants massaging the figures again just so they wont lose their jobs.
My own 2P's worth?
It's not as great as TPTB tell us.
It's not as bad as the prepping community would tell us.
Having said that, caveat emptor
