BTW look at the floods in Bostacstle and the big ones in Sheffield a couple of years ago, on that day in Bostcastle EVERY available rescue chopper in England and Wales was deployed to that village leaving the rest of the UK without cover. The big floods that hit sheffield alone a couple of years ago required every available rescue appliance and specialist from a radius of over 200 miles to help, and basically they could only watch, not enough boats, no hovercraft, not enough ropes, not enough kit to stop that damaged dam from cracking. One big city used up 80 % of all available kit the EMS had, now tell me what is going to happen if the entire country is hit by a nasty event ?
We would be on our own for days / possibly weeks until mother nature eased off and not til the govt did anything. Look how the UK ground to a halt in the winter 2010/ 11 the whole country was pollaxed and the government weas helpless. In my street alone no vehicles moved for 11 days.

I have no idea about the govt, how it works etc, They pay me my child tax credits and child benifit, I spend it on feeding the family and preps, One of the good things about the U.K ...FREE MONEY......Do you think that's why we get free dosh? To try and keep the sheeple happy?
No other country throws cash away like the U.K.

Its not free, its money being taken in ever greater amounts from an ever declining work force, the tax burdon on those who do work is reaching breaking point but those people claiming and constantly increasing, what happens when the money runs out?

Now go and have a look at your local working class community in the nearest big city and stop and think about what would happen if the govt stopped paying out the benefits, I would give Tottenham less than 24 hours before it went up in smoke.
