of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's advisers is in full-blown panic mode over China's Black Monday uk.businessinsider.com/gordon-brown-adviser-damian-mcbride-full-blown-panic-mode-over-chinas-black-monday-2015-8

We have seen seeing the markets crashing everywhere. Governments from china to the US and EU are trying their best to simulate the economy and delay the inevitable. It is now official, there will be an stock market collapse, meaning the banks will be shut and with that everything coming to halt. No one will be at work, no imports will come in, food and medication selves will be empty, civil unrest, hungry and confused people etc... will follow. We have seen it happen to other countries like Greece, but this time no will be here to save our butts.

We dont know what simulation package (if any) will follow, but in the mean time it will be a good idea to have bear essentials like food/ water/ medication/ warm clothing and coal to hand. Im looking at it as buying insurance.

Just wondering how much food and other essentials you have got in your house. And would you be buying more stuff to protect your family, from a economic collapse.

Most people dont keep up to date on this stuff, if you have please share some info to help others understand what is happening.

Thanks

Sophie

I have 5 tins of tuna downstairs and butterbeans. Lots of flippin tins of butterbeans. keep forgetting I buy them don't know what to do with them

That article is a week old... perhaps he just has stocks in aluminium companies?

Will there be zombies?

I don't think I have ever seen them say stuff like this before? It is quite 'prepper'!

We don't get many bears round here so I'm not clear on the purpose of stocking up on essentials for them

This could be good for my weightloss!

Strange.

This was over a week ago when the FTSE fell, it rebounded the day after!

Scaremongering

And the first paragraph of your post is also scaremongering nonsense.

China's market dropped after they devalued their currency, ours dropped temporarily in response and then rallied the new day. No crash. No banks closed. No societal panic.

Stand down everyone. Sophie forgot to read the bit that said an ex aide to ex PM Gordon Brown warned consumers in the U.S.
Mind you I'm down to my last 400g of Marmite so perhaps I should panic...

Don't forget the tinfoil, OP. You will need enough to make a fetching hat for yourself.

I saw that series of tweets from the former aide warning about the tinned foods and so on, and I genuinely wondered if he was unwell. I still do wonder that.

I must admit I did like the social media response, which was to assume he was tweeting about the zombie apocalypse and add their own further recommendations ("aim for the head").

And ooh, Zucker tinned butterbeans are very good in a stew with tinned tomatoes and some chopped pork knuckle (or other pig product), stewed long and slow, lump of butter at the end.

I wonder what led andersonsophie89 to propagate the untrue claim "British Official Public Warning?"

Careless failure to check ludicrous statements on a fantasist website, perhaps?

Time to make a tinfoil hat, I think.

Well I have just been to Greece and they were all on yachts and the like having a good time. Not sure if they had got extra beans in.

I had butter beans for dinner. They were in a chorizo and tomato stew.

I have more sandwiches than Damien McBride - he's a few sandwiches short. I do hope he has stocked up on his medication.

See I just wondered why the links were so bloody awkward and clumbsy whilst being too suspicious to click them. And Jeffrey rumbles on...

and before anyone gets jumpy I mean that being suspicious about linkies is part of Jeff's legacy apart from all the excellent education on how to thwart devious children

The banks were all closed today and we had beans on toast for tea OMG ITS ALREADY FUCKING STARTED!

Yup, it all sounds funny till it happens.

Ignoring for a minute the alarmist tone of the OP, the idea that there might be a serious crash at some point that would affect our daily lives really isn't so far fetched.

We are so used to abundance and being plugged into the global machine it's hard to imagine it not being there. But we are very vulnerable IMO.

If there was a truly massive financial crash or a serious fuel crisis or a pandemic it'd be fucking chaos (we're due for a new pandemic at some point, that's mainstream science not conspiracy nonsense rubbish).

Having said that I haven't got a stock pile of food myself, too many other daily priorities and i'm skint! But it's not barking IMO, not at all.

I have no butter beans, only a forlorn stockpile of uneaten ice lollies embedded in a freezer long past its defrost-by date.

Fuck.

I dunno. We're all right Jack, cake for breakfast, cake for lunch, cake for supper.

Oh wait, that was because we've been baking for the village show and the kids bought as much as we donated. Twits.

Where's my Down With This Sort Of Thing placard?

I have got tinned sardines.
