Ok so the comparison of our current society and a third world society needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

sorry I don't agree, NOBODY knows what is going to happen in the future, we have 64 million people on this tiny island and only enough land to grow crops to feed about 16 million should all those imports stop. and imports could stop tomorrow if there was an economic collapse. I also am amazed at the number of people who think this civilisation can go on and on indefinitely and nothing will ever harm it, civilisations have crashed before look at the Greeks and the Romans of ancient times they thought they were invincible too. a pandemic-which is a very distinct possibility-could have a serious effect on the population of the UK.

You misunderstood me I think.

I agree with you. A SHTF event will impact this society worse than the one I saw in Panama. Things will break down faster and further here. The resilience lifestyle lived in third world locations can handle things breaking down better. Mainly due to less reliance on the system. Thus Western Societies have further to fall when things break down. At least that is my opinion.

Cheers

yes, a case of the western civilisation has further to fall than a third world one, therefore it will impact harder. most people wont know what hit them.
