First Preppers in the papers story of 2016

[Steve]

I've read worse stories about "preppers", that one's not too bad.

I think it's about time TPTB came out in the open and started to encourage preppers. We've seen subtle stuff in the news, "keep some water" "some spare food" etc., but we need some proper recognition.

I'm doing a public service here - blokes at work are screwing up our balance of payments by spending their wages on imported TV's, while I'm restoring and using low-powered agricultural equipment that might provide their dinners one day. During the war years it was seen as duty to work the land and make-do-and-mend, it should still be seen as such, and if TPTB weren't so far in the pockets of multi-national companies it still would be.
