UK 4 meals away from anarchy in a disaster?

the problem is that everyone, or nearly everyone, is reliant on the system and when that system fails humans will fail with it. if they rely on the system for all their needs, from cradle to grave as we say here, then they have nothing to fall back on when the times get hard.
growing up my parents always had a larder, my dad grew most of our fruit and especially veg, not all of it but a good proportion was home grown.
very few people do that anymore, their gardens are the kids playgrounds because they cant let them out of the streets because, they think, there is a pervert around every corner, they could be right.
self reliance is now a thing of the past.
