My stash is mainly canned food (veg, beans, fish, meat, plus a few cans of spaghetti etc) so it could be eaten straight out of the can without needing either rehydrating or fuel. I do however have a mini gas stove (from Millets) and 16 butane bottles to go with it.

From my Y2K Millenium Bug preps, I had 6 months worth of everything in - including food and water for 2 cats. As society didn't collapse, I judiciously used up my supplies generally one day a week was those. (Except when I had real flu - as opposed to man flu - and for 3 weeks was eternally grateful for my stash so I didn't have to brave the wilds of the supermarket).

I've never had the flu it owns

If you are prepping late, buy poo poo you would eat anyway and chuck the basic details into excel so you know when that poo poo expires without having to check through it all.

It also lets you count your calories and see how long all those tins and packets will actually keep you going

The awkward thing about prepping for Brexit is trying to gauge how far to go and balancing that against how silly you feel. If I’m just expecting the shops to be a bit bare for a week I can stock up on some tins and call it a day, but if I’m expecting a longer term issue where water filtration can’t be trusted then I need to buy a colossal amount of bottled water which is an enormous expensive annoyance and seems a little bit insane.

I don’t know if I should be preparing for minor shortages or actual survivalist poo poo because this whole situation is totally insane to start with and it’s going to get exponentially crazier when you throw in the reactions of your average British punter and our underfunded thug police force.

what the thunder said
Just do a big shop to last two weeks if you're worried, trying to buy and store enough supplies to survive without external support for more than say a month is impossible without massive outlay and planning that is frankly already too late.

A 5kg bag of rice is all very well until you start trying to factor in the amount of gas/water you're gonna need per 100g of rice boiled and so forth. It's literally pointless excluding some carefully constructed scenario where all the hard stuff is taken care of you just cba to leave the house few days. If you really want to try you priorities are water > fuel > food, if you're starting with food you already hosed up.

shouldn't apply to the front bench, that's an erosion of collective responsibility and a very dangerous game to be playing for corbs

probably the issue is that he finally has a front bench which doesn't actively work to undermine him and these people have probably been loyal through all the earlier ugliness, meaning that he's significantly weakened if they go

also they're old awkward squadmates, which means that they've been through the desert together. that sort of thing breeds loyalty, and is probably why corbyn doesn't want to pull the trigger

they really should have resigned, though, it would make everything much easier and they could be reinstated on a later date

If Corbyn was in the habit of exiling rebels to the backbenches, his pool of eligible frontbench candidates would be vanishingly small. He'd run out of MPs who a) were able to sit on the frontbench and b) wanted to within a couple of years. Pragmatically he can't afford to be the world's strictest disciplinarian.

Plus there's an argument that he shouldn't want to: the whole "kinder, gentler politics", tolerance of different opinions, etc is one of his appeal points. And yeah - it definitely opens him up to accusations of hypocrisy if he's too heavy-handed. I think those are secondary concerns, though. The primary issue is that he would literally run out of experienced MPs who were willing to sit on a Corbyn frontbench.

Sure, but if food prices go up - as is forecast - I'm going to be glad of all the non-perishables I have managed to buy over the last 6 months or so. It's no sillier than having other kinds of savings. (Also big shops not easy for everybody.)

The Greening of Planet Earth is a half-hour-long video produced by the coal industry, which argues that rising CO2 levels will be beneficial to agriculture, and that policies intending to reduce CO2 levels are therefore misguided.

I liked how he said that the increasing CO2 concentration made cereals put on more carbs. As if that's a bad thing when you're worried about having enough food and such.

Now given the kind of sources he has that's probably not true either, but hey.

I have a question about the fat scottish dude.

Whenever he makes a speech, he aggressively says that Scotland will leave the union and join the EU. Whether that is realistic or not, everyone just ignores him. Isn't that kind of talk illegal? If I remember correctly, you guys even went and invaded Scotland a couple of times when they tried this.

Is it basically just a joke? That dude seems pretty serious.
