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

Gerald Celente predicts crashes and downturns indiscriminately, and with monotonous regularity. Every now and then, things work out for him. This does not make him an oracle.

See also: Marc Faber, David Tice, Albert Edwards. There are many others.

are you the OP fut, you seem overinvested

futforbaby · 01/09/2015 21:50

Didn't op just copy the headline of the second link she put up. It's hardly a lie, is it? She literally copied and paste the headline and used it as her title. When you read on, McBride did say stock up food and water for a month. I don't see how op lied about that.

I have read what everyone has wrote minus the jokes, and its seems like a good idea to have a contingency plan. Mimi also gave a good insight to who we should all be prepper.

I don't understand why this thread is scaremongering. Mimi correctly said, if your scared it's because your not prepared.
That makes really good sense to me.

ArcheryAnnie · 01/09/2015 21:54

Because trying to get a run on the banks is rarely a good idea, for a start, fut.

That's not sensible caution, that's actively trying to cause real problems.

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/09/2015 21:55

fut I'm not prepared, I'm not scared either. Shit happens. Nothing I do will change it, whatever it happens to be.

janethegirl2 · 01/09/2015 21:56

Ffs do I care, no I don't!

If I'm going to be dead tomorrow, there's nothing I can do!!

AlwaysOutnumberdNeverOutgunned · 01/09/2015 21:57

Haven't you seen Mary Poppins Fut?

The best laid plans...

CosmicDespot · 01/09/2015 21:57

Frankly astonished that anyone could think the op is even slightly credible. Properly and honestly amazed.

PigletJohn · 01/09/2015 21:57

Fut

Are you trying to tell us that you actually believe there was an Offical British Public Warning?

futforbaby · 01/09/2015 21:58

always no I'm not op. I'm simply responding to replies.

futforbaby · 01/09/2015 22:00

It's not official because the government make an important announcement on tv, like they did with 9/11.

Because it same from a former government advisor to someone else, should be taken seriously.

PigletJohn · 01/09/2015 22:03

So you don't believe there was an Official British Public Warning.

But you seem very tolerant of the OP starting a thread saying there was.

futforbaby · 01/09/2015 22:04

Annie, but the last few crashes didn't start because of a run of the banks. There was an announcement first and then people tried to get their money out.

Look what's happening to Greece and Cyprus. Argentina was a rich country before the crashed happened.

FairNotFit · 01/09/2015 22:06

Government adviser = ambitious bag-carrier. Not always to be taken seriously.

TalkinPeace · 01/09/2015 22:07

Argentina was a rich country before the crashed happened.
Which crash?
The one in the 30's the one in the 70's, the one in the 90's, the one in the 00's
Argentina has never been rich in the last 70 years

And you seem to put great faith in McBride having formerly had a job with access to power - it does not make him competent or reliable

PigletJohn · 01/09/2015 22:08

And how long ago did he have that temp job?

FairNotFit · 01/09/2015 22:09

Argentina's history has been punctuated by political instability, sovereign debt defaults and hyperinflation.

ArcheryAnnie · 01/09/2015 22:14

I didn't say they did, fut, but trying to create a run on the banks is never a good idea regardless.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 01/09/2015 22:15

Argentina was a military dictatorship that gave way to a new democracy and all the upheaval and instability that can bring. A bedding in process which has taken time to settle down. Very different from the UK.

Follyfoot · 01/09/2015 22:16

Hang on a minute, because it came from a former government advisor, this warning should be taken seriously? Damian McBride is a self-confessed liar who had no option but to resign when his nasty little smear campaign was exposed.

futforbaby · 01/09/2015 22:16

I did not say base the entire thing on what one man says, but if someone of that position tweets something like this, should it get your attention. If later you find other various other people saying the same thing, wouldnt he idea be taken serious. That's my reasoning for giving this prediction credibility.

TalkinPeace · 01/09/2015 22:16

Has everybody got their old LPs by the back door ready for the zombies BTW player 2 has joined the game

futforbaby · 01/09/2015 22:20

fit so what money week magazine said in their video regarding Argentina was false? I'm confused. Should I be worried about the us dollar collapsing or not. If it does collapse would trading world wide come to a halt? Do I need to prepare. I dont want to find myself in Mimi situation

GiddyOnZackHunt · 01/09/2015 22:20

What position fut? McBride resigned quite some time ago after being found out as a liar. And even then he was an advisor rather than an official.
