Thread Name: BS: New rules for Grocery shopping
Subject: RE: BS: New rules for Grocery shopping
With supermarket shelves emptying at a vast rate of knots(hopefully a temporary aberration) Here are a couple of articles to give pause for thought.This is not to scare but indicate vulnerabilities to be aware of.
1)By 1995 the UK had dismantled strategic foodstocks
2)The truck driver refinery blockade of 2000 scared the UK government silly.   So much so that one has to go to Canada for an analysis
3)It is said that society is but 9 meals from anarchy.
