Brexit Hoarders/Preppers
I am amazed at the number of (ostensibly) normal people who are openly stockpiling products in advance of 29th March.
There was some cunt on Radio 4 yesterday afternoon (The Food Programme) saying that he’d ordered 10Kg of seed potatoes so he could sow them and “share” the expected 200-400Kg crop should things “get sticky”. Asked for a scenario which would necessitate this, he replied “Oh, a bad snow storm WHEN the supermarket shelves ARE empty (both my emphasis)”.
They’re not all going to be empty for fuck’s sake! OK, there may be a shortage of quinoa for a week or 2 but if you’re that desperate, mix some cat litter with wallpaper paste and you’ll get a similar taste/texture/result.
The stupid twat also said that he was stockpiling powdered mash which doesn’t say much for the confidence he has in his own plan.
I buy food from supermarkets but also from my local Farm Shop. Apart from the overstock/short date ex-supermarket produce the farm shop sells, everything else is UK sourced and mostly competitive.
I think we’ll survive.
Now, where’s my crossbow and trapper hat….
