Nah!
HMG is not the politicians and anyway they are not all hoo-ray Henries. The Labour lot are just as bad.
And did you know that the Malay word for 'vagina' is 'farage' -- If you think I'm voting for that ,. well .....
HMG is actually the civil servants and you may not like them but at least they are not all replaced at election time. We have some form of continuity and for what its worth, generally, our civil servants are a reasonably competent bunch with a few exceptions like Universal Credit etc.
Sorry I didn't mean to slip into politics. I know that you want to prepare for ALL eventualities and that's cool but we all need to delinerate between possibilities and probabilities. Total Breakdown is a possibility. Pandemic Flu with a 9 - 12 months downside is a probability and a very high one

Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
