What to stock up.

With the war continuing, the question becomes what to stock up?

When Covid came we all stocked up toilet paper.  Now I hope for more mature common sense.

  1. Toilet paper.
  2. Candles 
  3. Batteries 
  4. Bottled water.
  5. Long life food such as tins, dry pasta.
  6. Toothpaste.   In Battlestar Galactic the entire human race ran out of toothpaste after a few years of war.
  7. Physical money in case the Internet goes down and cards and money transfers don't work.
  8. Cleaning products.
  9. Warm clothes.

I welcome suggestions.

  • Maybe we should start thinking about replacing rice with barley? At least barley is grown here and dosen't have to travel half way round the world

  • One thing for sure is that the UK and Europe needs to do everything it can to stop relying on the US and the rest of the world for our food and energy. I would like to see more investment in technology so that we can compete and be self sufficient for the next time some crazy man decides to bomb willy nilly. Someone’s profiteering from the nonsensical statements such as “the war is very complete” and “we haven’t won enough”. The rest of the world suffers for years while a few men in a white house live out their lives in comfort, shielded from desolation.

  • I think it's pretty obvious that Trumps given up on NATO, his attack on Iran and everyone else saying no, has given him the excuse he needed.

    I think we should seriously invest in tidal energy, there was a project that had a trial in Swansea Bay and it worked but May's government wouldn't back it so it just disapeared.

    We also seriously need to think about our food security and grow more of our own food and start thinking about what we can grow in a changing climate. If rainfall is higher would it possible for us to start growing rice? Maybe the risotto or paella types? As our climate warms would we be able to grow more legumes, beans and lentils as well as many of the types of fruit and veg we import? Most of all we need to stop eating so much meat, a lot of the meat peope eat is poor quality,  and heavily processed, we also need to stop eating the bits we like such as chicken breasts steaks and disguarding the rest. If people ate less better quality meat and ate nose to tail both our own health and that of the planet would benefit, we spend a ridiculous amount of time, money and effort feeding animals when that land could better be used for growing crops to feed us. Obviously there are some types of land that are only really any good for grazing, a lot of the land in Wales is like that, so make use of it..
