Even complete morons should know that food is grown out in the countryside on farms so that alone will get the people out of the cities once all the food stores are raided and empty.

It's either that or escaping what they're already experiencing inside the city boundaries but they WILL roam.

depends on where they are and what the situations is, if its power down, no fuel, then how far can the average pleb walk in a day? and how many days will they walk before they give up and go back? I am 30 and 40 miles from the only 2 cities that Devon had, neither of which have the population of Londonistan or the midlands! I reckon 10 miles max a day and that's on a good day, bad weather and they'll be lucky to make half that, even then they'll have to either cross Dartmoor or go around it.we picked this place for a reason!

if you add in the winter weather we had last year, most of the bridges and a lot of the roads were flooded, railway line at Exeter was under water, lots of trees down and gullies flooded.

most of them wont have the right clothing or footwear, mostly fashion stuff which wont last 5 minutes outside of the cities, or shelter or possibly food and water, and be out of condition, feeble from lack of food/water.

they wont leave the city until there is no food left in the city-why would they?
