Dangers of becoming complacent

[bigpaul]

the surviving population in the UK after a major catastrophe is likely to be less than 10% of what it is now, more likely to be less than 5% because 99% of the people alive in Britain today have not even the slightest glimmer of how to look after themselves once all the services and resources are no longer available, so we are looking at maybe 6 million tops, 3 million maybe , probably even less, especially once all the normal food supplies are used up, no piped water- how many people know you have to filter any water? hygiene will go out the window, nasty diseases like Typhoid and Cholera and Dysentry always reappear after any major collapse of infrastructure.
forget the modern world, whatever that is, welcome to the new world.
