Food shortages

[bigpaul]

it may seem to an American that the UK is a small country and compared to the US it is, but expecting people to walk hundreds of miles is not logical.
in the capital and around it and around some of the large northern cities then yes stealing and violence will occur, but some of our more rural areas are a long walk from even a small city and are hundreds of miles from a large city.
I have never been a subscriber to the horde theory, oh it may be possible in America with their pioneering history but in Britain we dont have a history of evacuating and this is a country where everyone drives or uses public transport, not only that we have an obesity crisis due to the availability of fast food, whilst looting is a distinct possibility in the cities it is most unlikely that any looters will get any further than the city suburbs especially by walking.
people would need to use the least exertion to get the most from their looting enterprises and that would be nullified by walking for days and weeks.
