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've just eaten my entire chocolate hoard. Is it still safe to go and buy more?

sleepyelectricsheep · 01/09/2015 13:00

Also some of us have relatives from countries where stockpiling food under the floorboards was considered prudent, not crazy. (Baltic countries under Soviet rule).

franok · 01/09/2015 13:00

Agree with sleepyelectricsheep. I think the title is designed to get your attention.

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/09/2015 13:01

Who said we are joking about zombies?

And I don't see the need to stockpile, I can loot when everything has gone to shit, its fine, honest.

franok · 01/09/2015 13:04

FattyNinjaOwl you dear try to looting me and I will show you real ninja kunfu. Grin

Lancelottie · 01/09/2015 13:08

Apparently you can grow tea in Cornwall, TheExMotherInLaw. I'm having Padstow as my Rallying Point if so.

CosmicDespot · 01/09/2015 13:08

We all know that civilisations end. Doom mongering won't change that, nor will stockpiling anything. FFS.

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/09/2015 13:08

Don't need kung fu, I did tae kwon do Grin
leaves out that I've not done it since I was 7, so about 17 years and I will have a supply of weapons Wink

If we really want to stave off the apocalypse, we're much, much better off putting our efforts into helping to avoid climate change - not driving unless necessary, and all the rest of it. Not buying unnecessary shit, pressuring govt and commerce to implement energy-efficient measures, etc etc.

That's what'll save us - not a few tins of beans.

Scotland is supposed to have the perfect terroir for tea Grin

I remember a few years ago, NASA emailed all their employees to prepare for a zombie attack. The idea is if your prepared for a zombie attack, your prepared for anything.

Ive just checked NASA's wesbite and the preparedness pack is still there.

Apparently when Charles F. Bolden, Jr. became NASA's Administrator, he felt the need to put together this plan. I wonder what he learnt.

AlwaysOutnumberdNeverOutgunned · 01/09/2015 13:14

I do not own a Hummer, my plan is to move to the Blue Mountain Factory. That will mean living in Jamaica, needs must. In the meantime is anyone growing coffee to future proof against Zombie invasion?

ArcheryAnnie · 01/09/2015 13:15

I've got some little coffee plants on my windowsill in London, Always, but it'll be a while before I get a latte out of any of them.

AlwaysOutnumberdNeverOutgunned · 01/09/2015 13:17

We can crowdfund extra plants. OP is right [[http://www.bluemountaincoffee.com/index.cfm?method=AboutUs.News look at this, the market is crashing!!!}}

franok · 01/09/2015 13:17

ArcheryAnnie, avoiding climate change. Apart from stop driving up the co2 admissions, what else should we focus on.

AlwaysOutnumberdNeverOutgunned · 01/09/2015 13:17

bastard keyboard!

We can crowdfund extra plants. OP is right look at this, the market is crashing!!!

franok · 01/09/2015 13:20

I feel like some coffee and almost out. Is that coffee nice? Where can I get some?

franok · 01/09/2015 13:25

FairNotFit Im still waiting for an answer to my last post to you.

"I've just been watching the videos OP has put up, and they are very convincing. Is there a chance the US Dollar will collapse in the near future?"

AlwaysOutnumberdNeverOutgunned · 01/09/2015 13:27

Blue Mountain is the bestest coffee in the whole wide world but rather pricey as a result. Used to be able to get it in tesco before austerity measures became widespread.

I am all for joining a Jamaican MN Hippyesque Commune, care to join me franok and Archery?

FairNotFit · 01/09/2015 13:27

Franok - the US dollar has been the global reserve currency for 70-odd years and there isn't a credible alternative at present...

FairNotFit · 01/09/2015 13:28

X-post Franok - but I'm a bit surprised by your tone: FairNotFit Im still waiting for an answer to my last post to you.

I have to go out now. Is that OK with you? Wink

AlwaysOutnumberdNeverOutgunned · 01/09/2015 13:30

watch out for Zombies Fair...

franok · 01/09/2015 13:31

FairNotFit, then why is China and the BRICKS nation dumping the the US dollar and buying in stupid amounts of gold, commodities, land etc ????

Just because it has been the reserve currency for 70 years, doesn't mean it will be the reserve currency forever? Does it?

franok · 01/09/2015 13:32

Sorry just a bit worried. And I dont know any bankers to ask. Ive got a lot of money in American dollars and dont want to loose it all.

FairNotFit · 01/09/2015 13:32

I'm taking two succulent children with me, Always - that should distract the zombies while I make my getaway.
