UK families are suddenly being told to stock up on emergency supplies – and to prepare for war.

Wes Streeting, the UK’s defense secretary, went on a media blitz to push a new “Be Ready” campaign to boost Brits’ preparedness for crises — which he said could range from floods and wildfires to terrorism and cyber attacks and ultimately even war.

“There’s no sugarcoating the fact that we do live in a more dangerous and turbulent world,” Streeting told BBC’s “Newsnight.”

“It’s about saying to households across the country to be ready by just having some everyday essentials indoors should there be disruption from these sorts of events.”

The senior cabinet member listed emergency essentials like canned food, diapers, pet supplies, torches, batteries, backup cellphone charging packs and having “enough cash indoors if the local payment systems were down.”

Drafting young legacy Brits to die in a war is a great way to put the icing on the replacement-migration cake.

a little misleading headline there. Heck, that’s normal hurricane prep advice we get annually.

“It is also the growing threat of state-sponsored terrorism, sabotage and hostile acts designed to disrupt our lives, undermine our security and spread fear in our communities,” he said.”
I think this is what they’re really worried about.
Same warnings here lately…..terrorism, cyber attacks.
Can you image several weeks with no gas, no electricity, no phone service, no computers, no open banks, no use of debit or credit cards and chaos in the streets?

If I were a young British patriot I might be used to hiding it from the current government. There would be zero chance of me marching off to Ukraine expecting the government to watch out for my wife and children from the “British” who wouldn’t march otherwise.

Doubt it, since many in various authority positions over there have embraced their increase. But one can hope.

Today’s Brits are certainly not anything like the Brits who survived the Blitz, and there’s no one like Churchill anywhere around.

Bacon grease in a pump sprayer, I’m guessing, is a handy item to have.
