Devon and Cornwall will be inundated with refugees? Ifs, maybes, and conjecture

[bigpaul]

unless its a life threatening event like nuclear war, a toxic spill or a large fire I don't see people leaving their homes at all. in say an economic/financial collapse people will sit tight and see what happens and expect the govt to come and save them, it will take some time before they realise help isn't coming. and most people if and when they do leave are more likely to head for relatives places than wander aimlessly looking for a "safe" place to stop, like some caravan or camping site.

and on the subject of caravans, just look at any major road, say M5,A303 or the A38 in the summer and you will see the tailbacks caused by caravans and campers.
