Households have been warned not to stockpile food and toilet roll ahead of 1 January when the UK stops trading under EU rules. On Sunday, the UK and the EU agreed to extend a deadline aimed at reaching a deal on post-Brexit trade.
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) said ongoing uncertainty made it harder for firms to prepare for the New Year.
But it said shops had plenty of supplies and shoppers must not buy more food than usual.

Sounds like they need to stockpile food.
Remember, no conspiracy theory should ever be believed until it is officially denied.

Certainly such advice was completely ineffective in the US in March and April.

You might as well say “Everybody needs to stockpile now”.
After a pipeline to Tennessee was shut down, the Governor announced there was plenty of gas. 4 hours later almost all stations were bled dry.

Never obey the government when it is telling you to not prepare for the future.

That’s the equivalent of shouting “fire” in a crowded theater.
Can’t be an accident.

Liberal Logic: When they go on rations, they shouldn’t need as much toilet paper.
