Brexit Prepping

Do you upper middle class twonks have any idea what is going on in the world?   You people wouldn't know an issue, let alone how to deal with it, if it happened to you.  I'm here hoping that I can afford the €800 balance on my Vigier when it's complete!

Any general prepper tips for a newbie survivalist? 

Just ensure that your gun is cleaned and oiled. You don't need to worry about food, your neighbours will give you theirs.

Also:  Get really fat.  Grow a big grey beard.  Buy XXXL army surplus clothing (along with some giant cans of peanut butter, if available).  Dig a bunker in your back garden.  Brush up on the Second Amendment (I know it's American, but they'll want us to sign up in exchange for all that chlorinated chicken).

Can you still get Beanfeast? I lived on that stuff when I was on the Rock 'n' Roll. And Barnstormer Cider (Foxhunter Cream on Giro day).

We'll just eat the leavetards, luckily they're all fat.

I prefer to eat remainders. 

They're seasoned better. More salty.

Disinfectant, cigarette lighters and a gun should set you up ok. Learn how to make kerosene..

I've got about 30 bags of high quality BBQ briquettes that I can make last for 12 hours per half-bag for low and slow cooking.

I suppose the main problem is that all the polls show that there are far more remainers than leavers so there might not be enough leaver meat to go round. 

Definitely need to impose a state of emergency when the leaver meat runs out.

On the plus side, the average IQ of the country will rise astonishingly when the leavers have all been eaten.

That’s a plus for me.

And that the supply of haricot beans might be badly affected. I hate baked beans.

Have started a little stockpile of tinned and dried food. Also some stuff in the big freezer. Better safe than sorry. It'll get eaten whatever happens. 

"There won't be any food shortages" say the people who said Nissan/Airbus wouldn't have job losses, the banks wouldn't move out, the leave campaign wasn't involved in criminal conspiracy etc. Don't trust a Brexiteer to tell you whether to prepare, their trade is delusion and lies.

Nissan is primarily down to diesel sales plummetting.  They were only planning to build the diesel model in Sunderland.  They were always planning to build the petrol version in Japan.  The problem is that the remoaner press has made all the headlines about Brexit.

This is from the BBC article on it:

Peter Campbell, the motor industry correspondent at the Financial Times, said the fall in demand for diesels would appear to be one of the main factors in the announcement as Nissan was planning to make mainly diesel versions of the X-Trail in Sunderland.

He told the BBC: "If Nissan decided to make those cars in petrol it would have to ship engines over from Japan and the cost of doing that work against the decision to build it in the UK."

Nissan would almost certainly have pulled this investment anyway given what has happened to diesel sales, and what is going to happen in the future.  That article says that 80% of the cars from that Sunderland plant are exported.  It doesn't say where, but it will be mostly to the EU.  Look what is happening with diesel in other EU countries who are actually doing something about air pollution.  Diesel cars are going to be banned in Paris, Madrid, and Athens.  No-one in France, Spain or Greece is going to keep buying diesels.  There is no way that Nissan are spending hundreds of millions tooling up to build cars no-one will buy.

It's not about Brexit.  It's about diesel, but Project Fear has jumped onto it and all their tame news websites have put Brexit headlines on it.
