Come the expected European crash, and the UK's dive into destruction because of it, fuel is going to be vital.
I'm expecting no food, riots, no money, no power, no water, all the best bits of economic collapse yet I'm thinking that it will only last a short time. Probably no longer than 3-6 months.
Us preppers quietly chuckling away for having planned for this.

My thinking is that the global money men will sort it out because the longer it goes on for, the more they'll lose.
After all it's money that got us here, it's money that will get us out.
It certainly won't be good government because they'll be no money for taxation ergo they won't get paid.
I personally can't see any government minister working like stink for free to help us, can you? Can anybody!

So no electricity and no money will mean no fuel.
One silly comment by the government a while ago dried up the pumps for over a week. That was quite dramatic wasn't it?
Foraging for fuel will become the national pastime as no matter how much we might not like it, we'll still need to move round.

ah..i see! short term not TEOTWAWKI! that makes a difference! 3-6 months? hell ..we (meaning preppers) ought to be able to do that without even thinking about it..right??
