I am not a prepper. But I have just read a disturbing report on Newzit from I think The Times, where Oliver Dowden is encouraging people to prepare for power and network outages. We are over reliant on digital phones and computers. So we should have torches/batteries/candles and battery operated FM radios to hand. There is, apparently, a government risk resilience strategy, and there will be a website pertaining to same next year.
If this shit show of a government is thinking about this, seeing as they do not appear to have thought about /prepared anything else save getting their greedy snouts in the trough, should I actually don my tin hat and start panic buying tinned food etc. They haven't been prepared for anything else, have they? So is something nasty around the corner?
