I dont think it insane. I have stocked up on candles, am replacing the wood burning stove so we can cook even if gas and electricity are off and I have about three weeks supply of tins and jars of pasta, lentils and home grown preserves just in case.I ponder getting an alternate source of power to keep the three freezers going
You will probably think this is insane, but I am investing in long life, easy to store physical food supplies. Our food supplies are heavily dependent on fertilizer and chemicals, predominantly derived from oil. There are currently serious shortages of nitrogen fertilizer. The southern hemisphere is just entering the spring growing season, so if the situation does not improve soon they will be impacted. Much more food production comes from the northern hemisphere, so if the current situation extends into the spring we could be in serious trouble. At the very least we will get strong food price inflation. If I can't buy food which would I rather have, a share in Amaroq or a tin of beans. I think the answer is obvious. Lets hope that it isn't needed, but if it is I will be prepared.
on your daqta cite your source?I am sure that kids of indian and chinese migrants outpace native brits.but kids of eritrean asylum seekers? I'd love to see your hard data on that
Given that there is genocide against the alawites ( the tribe of assad) Id grant all of them asylum. But any syrian who came here seeking refuge from assad as he supported the other side surely has no right to remain now that the other side are in charge.And if you think the new guy is a menace to non alawite, christian, druze or kurd syrians (all of whom he is genociding), , i.e. to everyone why the hell is he welcomed to Downing st and showered with UK taxpayer cash?
