I am based in Central/SW London and I can`t see what area I am supposed to be in? As a London based prepper, my main concern is that if anything kicks off, the supermarkets will stop delivering in London. I also (half) heard Dan Snow on The One Show say there used to be a policy that in an emergency, they would shoot people attempting to leave London. Not that I would attempt this at first. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about national emergency policy. I know I could check my local council The Republic of Lambeth, but I don`t think Lambeth will have this on their website. I don`t want this taken the wrong way, but there seems to be a military theme? Could be just the choice of lingo or maybe there are ex military types? I ask this, because the "state" probably has plans to take food/supplies stored by preppers?
In a bad case scenario, preppers should lay low and hide their location and pretend they are starving!
This advice about avoiding politics and "conspiracy theories" (uninvestigated/poorly investigated conspiracies...little theory required) seems at odds with prepping. Don`t get me wrong, I am not interested in the wacko stuff. But the last set of English/London riots were instigated by organised crime, the police and state. This was revealed to me by a young black girl speaking on tv to a reporter. She was a gang member and she said "we were all told to come down here and kick off"! BY WHO? The implication that various gangs who usually stay away from each other would all descend on locations like Clapham Junction where the police stood around twiddling their thumbs for a couple of hours before they did anything????
My main concerns are space and alternatives to mains power cooking as its illegal to store gas cylinders where I am. Could get away with a few camping sized tins, but not a serious alternative. My last concern is building some sort of prescription drugs reserve. I don`t really trust a system that already leaves the UK low on drug supplies, so God only know what will transpire if things collapse?
The truth does not fear investigation.
