Sky News stories about fears of disorder and shortages

[JulianHJ]

Sky News have published a couple of stories in the past 24 hours concerning fears of a no deal Brexit. The first concerns a mother increasing her food storage over the next few months, and the second features a Police Federation spokesman highlighting the difficulties faced by forces in a worst case scenario.

Disorder predicted in the event of a no deal Brexit:

How concerned are you about the possibility of a no deal Brexit? Are you preparing in any way, do you feel it's just sensationalism? Prepping appears to be a very American pastime, but I was wondering whether we'll see any increased interest over here.

Quite worried tbh.
I've stockpiled 1440 cans of beans, several blade edged weapons, full tactical camo and a terabyte of filth in a faraday cage.

I won't be the victim of others that have failed to prep.

My local beer producer is in my own town but a different postcode so I better stock up just in case.

Sadly, the only shortages will be caused by people stockpiling essentials.

However I think we can be pretty certain that everything is going to be ok regardless.

Just a terabyte?

They go off quite quickly in my fridge too. Four of five days max. I blame the EU.

I have flour and yeast, sadly I don't have a cow, but I imagine I could barter a loaf for a pint of milk with one of the locals.

I'm going to stockpile packets of Yorkshire Tea teabags. Aldi are selling them with 50% extra teabags for free and that can't last forever can it?

You put bread in the fridge? We need the EU to make a regulation to stop that immediately!

Yeah, but it's not switched on. Ever since I got a smart meter fitted my bills have been unaffordable.
