Slow breakdown scenario

[bigpaul]

you've hit the nail on the head WHB, if the imports stopped which they would in an economic or political event, given the acreage we can only feed 25% of our current population-which is increasing daily and don't forget the 5,000 waiting just over the channel in Calais waiting to add to the numbers. a lot of our land is useless without heavy use of imported chemicals and fertilisers, so the number we can feed are probably a lot less because of this. our population has not learned how to be self reliant( or has forgotten how to) so once the S hit the fan then it would go down hill very fast.
