RE: UK 4 meals away from anarchy in a disaster?
Getting back to the original thread, Yes i do think that many in the UK could not last for a couple of days before social unrest kicked off ....empty shelves was a reality a few weeks back ....just a bit of snow....and yet there we idiots trying to reach super markets looking to buy food ? after warnings all over the papers,radio,TV and internet ....if you have a bit of emergency money stashed by you would be able to mitigate the problem ...short term ....super markets work on a 72 hour turn around ....they resupply from giant holding areas and feed many of their stores from there, i have told you that i heard of a fight breaking out over one loaf of bread in our local Sainsburys ....many people struggle to put meals on the table (in so called good times ) around here ....austerity is here alright in South Wales....but for some reason they have money for fags and cheap strong lager and a bountiful supply of attitude ....on the other hand there are plenty of people 50 ish that keep a good pantry and then there's us....well prepared.........when tshtf and a young couple with two young children come a knocking on my door and start begging for food ...just for the kids....my head will say no sorry we have nothing ourselves....think is .....your hart needs to be in sync......i wonder what i would really do...open the flood gates as the word got about? tough one ....but you would risk all you have including your family humanity starts at home .
