Comment on Government tells Britons to stockpile as part of emergency planning
PeteBauxigeg@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoI don’t really see how it’s pointless? The average person probably underestimated the risk of the UK being dragged into a conflict in this decade or the next and thus also the risk they’d need to prepare for that, so it’s probably helpful to bring how much people think they need to prep in line with how much they should prep, could save some lives.

If the UK gets dragged into a conflict it’s going to last more than 3 days though isn’t it.

I believe the thinking is that three days is (hopefully) enough time for whatever issues to be resolved, or for you to look for other sources of supplies. You're not expected to stockpile enough to live on for months!

Well I don’t think that’s a given and I also don’t think that if that was the case it’d then follow that this policy is silly but I see and agree with the general points you’re making
