Well Sir, if you wish to volunteer to help feed and care for these people using your own resources then good for you, its a very noble gesture, But my efforts involve caring only for those who are an integrated member of my family and prepping group. Even now there are millions of hungry elderly greeks whose pensions have been slashed are you going to help them or what about the 100,000 homeless we have in the UK?
I'm not being hard or nasty I'm being terribly realistic.

To make what?, the UK does not make anything any more, My good friends think a second, part of the all to real and painful problem we face just here in the UK is there are 64 million people living ever longer on an island that can only sustain 50 millions, We have declining numbers of workers to pay tax but ever more claimants, less and less jobs are savailable so even now kids with degree fight for jobs in mcdonalds. Last years Tottenham riots were more to do with frustration and desperation as with criminality. Young people facing their entire lives without jobs, living in tiny flats, fewer and fewer job opportunities and no chance of a decent life, THATS REALITY, THATS NOW !!
Do you feed the stranger today at the expence of your childrens food tomorrow?
