MG It depends it could go the way of post WW1 germany with hyper inflation ( 8 Am loaf of bread costs £500, by noon its a £1000) Thousands on the streets homeless, no dole, no child benefits, no sickness or disability allowance, no pensions, fuel unaffordable. This usually is followed by an extreme government getting in in the Germans case it was the Nazis, in Russias case it was far far worse it was the communist socialists. Nowt get planted tended, made or grown, no fuiel gets delivered no power generated etc etc

Or it could lead to civil war as happened in Spain in the 30s, Or total collpase of government and law and order like Somalia, No very nice things overall, In places in europe in the 30s mums were forced to sell their pretteens virginity for HALF a loaf of bread or a couple of spuds.

If it doesnt get violent the government will become totalitarian, all foods siezed, you work for food, curfews, martial law, protestors and objectors shot.
I'm afraid the only people completely unaffected by this misery will be the usual suspects. Party Activists, Politicians, Trade Union leaders, Bankers, The Rich and those with the most guns.

They old adage of " Those who have the weapons make the rules" dominates.

Its also why most long in the tooth old school preppers spend so much time trying to persuade young preppers to do what ever it takes but get the F*** out of the cities. My Grandad had friends on the Jarrow march, The pictures and stories he told me about REAL poverty in the NE made my blood run cold.

Forgot to say the only STUPID question on a prepper forum is the one you dont ask.
