Government 3day emergency ready

[nahlaaaa]

Is anyone else absolutely terrified of this. My mind is working over time thinking of all possibilities of what we may and may not need and where to store all these things. I have a 2yr old too so extra pressure to keep him fed and hydrated. I know they say just incase of a storm or power outage but what if something worse was to happen like how much cash do you actually need to have at home like most people we don’t have ‘spare money’ we live payment to payment so doing that is super difficult and same for stock piling at what point is it enough of everything there’s so much to consider even down to period supplies and toiletries right up to food and water I just can’t cope. How’s everyone else coping and dealing with this oh and medication like to make sure you have enough of everything is crazy it’s such hard work and as I said my minds doing overtime with worry and stress I can’t cope

Russia's disinformation campaign on social media is clearly working. It's sad that people are so ignorant they don't understand the causes of the conflict

Oh Friendly Ginger cat.
Sometimes you know you have to stand shoulder to shoulder with people. Because it is the right thing to do. Because if it happened to us, we would hope that others would come to our aid.
Why can we not ignore what is happening in Ukraine ?
Because it would be very wrong to do so. Morally. Russia wants Ukraine for its natural riches. And it’s people who are incredibly brave and able. They have butchered, attacked, a free and independent European country. It is not that far away.
Russia is a world power. Putin has said he wants the old Russian Empire back. Not the USSR. The old Empire. It extended as far as France.
We in the West normally balanced the USSR with the power of the USA. But Mr Trump seems inordinately friendly with Mr Putin. Excuses him much. Does not help Ukraine. Insults their President in an unedifying spectacle of which Mr Trump should be ashamed.
So the USA is less a friend of the West these days. Alarming? Yes. Be alarmed.
Helping Ukraine defeat Russia is not only morally right, it is in our interests.

You need friends in the world. If we had not had America on our side in WW2 we would have without doubt lost it. They came in late in the day, but they came. Hitler nearly won. We were at one point all alone. But we should not let Ukraine be all alone. And I am glad European leaders of all persuasions agree.

Tbf this has been drip fed for weeks but people tend not to see. The timing of shoving it in everyone's faces to coincide with a couple of storms has probably sparked a bit of panic that it's going to be the apocalypse any day now.

You don't have to rush out and stock up think of power cuts when winter really gets stuck in and aim for that.

We also had Russia on our side in WW2. Russian men and women died in their millions to rid Europe of the Nazis and Fascists and the Japanese Imperialists.

If there really is an emergency, the shops will be ransacked, so there won't be anything left to buy with your hoarded cash.

Europe is more at risk from the invading hordes of economic migrants than Russia, but Governments say or do nothing. Look at what's been happening in France.

Abandoning the Ukraine would be a mistake. It wouldn't stop there.

If I lose my house, it won't be Russians turfing me out, but lefties taking it to house migrants.

хорошего дня

Are you a Russian bot?? The Soviet Union attacked Poland on the 17th September 1939, two weeks after the Nazis started WW2. They were on the same side as the Nazis. Russians/Soviets committed horrific crimes in Poland and they were the aggressors. They only joined our side of the conflict after the Nazis attacked them two years later in 1941. Even after this Stalin was always trying to gain as much as possible for his country, not to help the rest of the allies. In the end he bullied Churchill into giving up Poland's freedom so that it becomes a soviet satellite country under the direction of USSR. Poland only became freed from them in 1989. Russians are not our friends

@RaggedRocks pack it in.

No Russian bot, just not a Russophobe

Полезный идиот Путина

In English please guys

I think the 3 days is a red herring tbh but they can’t say more or there will be chaos. Why would we need cash for bad weather if we already have food supplies? Why would you need a copy of your ID? And if the shit does hit the fan hence why you need ID why will that shit be fixed in 3 days?

I’m guessing “yeah whatever Sergei” or similar….

Sorry I was using google translate, Russian is the last language in the world I'd choose to learn after my parents were forced to learn it during the soviet oppression of my country (and my other ancestors during the Russian partition).

Полезный идиот Путина means "Putin's useful idiot"

@Kalanthe thank you!

Ik we already have a battery one anyway. Not sure why wind up is the factor to go for.

Which is EXACTLY why we are being pre warned to stock up now, so that people don’t need to ransack shops.

It seems like everyone is expecting their front doors to be kicked down by thieving marauders on the hunt for tins of soup. That hasn’t happened in Ukraine. Their power is off for hours every day, and food isn’t plentiful but they’ve adapted and are civilised.

You cannot store tap water in a bottle for long periods. It's not sterile.

I guess it's so people don't need to necessarily stock batteries since they're so expensive.
My ancient wind up can also use batteries but actually doesn't need too much winding at all for a decent length of time listening to the radio.
I think I got it 20+ years ago as a free gift from a mail order catalogue, and it's well used and bashed and battered but has stood the test of time.
I have actually now also got one that can be solar powered and charge a phone.
Multiple redundancies/ one is none and two is one, and all that.

Refresh it periodically then.

Chillax mate, it’s just 3 days supply. If something much more major happened we’d be fucked anyway so it’s irrelevant. This is just for low-level disruption. Get 30 cans of soup/ beans/ fruit/ veg and some water. It shouldn’t cost more than £50 so do it over a few weeks, when you can.
