PROJECT FEAR - OR PROJECT REALITY ?

Postby Cannydc » Sat Aug 03, 2019 10:18 pm

Schools may have to close, exams could be disrupted and fresh food for pupils’ meals could run short because of panic buying with prices soaring by up to 20%, according to a secret Department for Education analysis of the risks of a no-deal Brexit obtained by the Observer.

The five-page document – marked “Official Sensitive” and with the instruction “Do Not Circulate” – also raises the possibility of teacher absences caused by travel disruption, citing schools in Kent as particularly at risk.

On the dangers of food shortages to schools, it suggests that informing the public of the risks could make matters even worse.

In a section entitled School Food, it talks of the “risk that communications in this area could spark undue alarm or panic food buying among the general public”.

And it adds: “Warehousing and stockpiling capacity will be more limited in the pre-Xmas period. The department has limited levers to address these risks. We are heavily dependent on the actions of major suppliers and other government departments to ensure continued provision.”

Other government documents obtained by Sky News last week warned of “consumer panic” and gaps in security within weeks of leaving the EU without a deal.


Remember, this is a GOVERNMENT analysis, a PRO-BREXIT government.

Must remember to top up the dry goods store, and freeze more veg...

Where to start and what difference will it make?

I'm happy with playing with gammons but it's far more serious than that.

We're fiddling while Rome burns, unrest has started with the near riots in London today. This is the start.

The only advice I have is stock up, and avoid flashpoints.

Keep the car topped up and if like me you have elderly relatives, keep a close eye on them - it will be winter.

Whenever we see inner city riots we know for a fact that the public have had enough, and I fear that we will soon see mobs rioting in cities all over the country.

Taking back control? Utter bollocks! We are heading for choppy waters and it will not be pleasant.

I am still waiting for Leave to provide a wonderful list of all the benefits of Brexit.

Living in London I can feel matters getting worse, and as and when and if Brexit causes civil unrest it will kick off.

I recall the last riots down here, it didn't take that much for the whole of London to join in.

They don't need much to set them off.

Hot weather sets some people off.

Wasn’t that a police shooting though? I wouldn’t call that ‘not much’.

And grow your own petrol ?

Generate enough power for towns and cities ?

And for the millions in flats, and without land ?

Sometimes you just don't think through the big picture, do you ?

Britain currently produces less than 60% of the food it requires.

When the food lorries, around 5,000 a day coming into Dover, stop flowing freely and start to be checked even the shortest delays will accumulate quickly and food price inflation is inevitable. For some, like those already relying on food banks, that will be a disaster for others it will mean less to spend elsewhere which will have a knock on effect into the rest of the economy and unemployment will rise.

if You can't do it Your self, then stop condoning the bombing, sanctions and disintegration of society in other countries for it till You can!

big picture? :off head: a box in the corner of a box in the corner of a bigger box. Yeh sure, you think You can imagine a big picture. if You had done it already You wouldn't be concerned about not being prepared. You would have the ability to sustain Your own and Families needs before they have need. I don't even drive and would consider having a petrol drum or two in my garden or shed. in fact it is a standard protocol, I always pay the cheaper price because I buy early and store it. so when prices do rise I hardly notice the rise in price.
