Is it just me ??

[I-K-E]

the scary thing would be that if TSHF big time the uk wouldn't be producing enough for the 16 million as I assuming that this number is based on modern farming methods that would be massively disrupted if RWOL happened and things like animal feed and fuel stopped being available

if end going back to pre 1800 subsistance farming type lifestyle then the numbers drop even more. I had a quick look at the population numbers and for a longtime the uk population was below 2 mil.

heres the chart on the numbers http://chartsbin.com/view/28k

how I don't think that the population would drop that low as during WWII and before framing practices have advanced massively but I still think there will be nowhere near the 16 million after a mass die off due to RWOL and starvation and it may take decades for the numbers to increase post SHTF when some sort of society emerges from the chaos
