Y2K all over again!
Sensible precautions, based on the fact that even the government are doing it.
And nothing will be wasted.
Apart from the oxygen you're wasting of course.
Seriously man, if the shelves are empty for more than 2 weeks, or People here that certain rich areas are getting supplies when poorer areas aren't. You will have civil unrest and those with guns will rule the kingdom. If rioting starts in your area canny you will be left to fend for yourself. Your best bet is to actually take off to thailand where your gold jewelry might actually buy you something.
Those with guns...
I know right
You let the government disarm you and their now the only ones (mainly) with weapons who can treat you however they want. You think their going to let you destroy the nicer areas of the country?
Look at the riots you had in st pauls and toxteth. They let you burn the places down for days and stood by and watched until one of the police was killed.
Then take the poll tax riots in london. Then charged at you on horseback. You think they will let you burn down Kensington?
Your area Torquay is now a haven for the unemployed and homeless Stooo, how many cops are stationed there? Don't expect police from the surrounding areas to come as back up. They will be protecting their own areas. There's simply not enough police to go around. And truth be told they don't give a shit about the layabouts anyway.
You will have gangs (More than there already are) out rustling livestock from isolated farmers. Your roads in and out of the area will be blocked by army or police. If you really think you need to hoard food then you must expect the worse and prepare for it. And having a firearm is worth a lot more than a pocket full of gold.
