Personally I can’t see the point in opening up threads of personal “opinions “.My comment here - that stressing about news is pointless- was because this very thread is one whole year old. In that time,the original suggestion that Pakistan,Bangladesh and Egypt were collapsing to the point that they were all going to be refugees that would head here hasn’t happened. Stuff happens both here and other countries. Our own economy is a big worry and far more so than anywhere else,as we live here! It’s why we are ‘UK Preppers’
What is important,is what is happening now,in this country.I’ll bet Pakistanis think we are perfect in our fast collapsing economy.We ain’t! When we get over that and are absolutely perfect
then maybe we worry about every other country! So no. I don’t think - in fact we are not -going to turn into a forum of opinion pieces. The moderators have to fight constantly to prevent politics here. This is no different. That is,doing impressions of Mystic Meg ,suggesting what * might* happen ( three countries didn’t send refugees in the last 12 months ,and our own economic crisis is our own fault) Continuing with practical ideas and suggestions of prepping for situations in the UK is the original plan of this forum.
So I am not ,for instance,going to stress about potential world food shortages.Cannot change it. Can prepare though.There’s going to be shortages here because of the weather in the UK.I’ll make sure my garden is doing well instead.
By all means point out a rice shortage for example,in the countries that produce it. Then you can stock up. My point was that stressing about that country is a waste of time. Here and now is what counts.
I am going to lift some spuds from the garden…
