UK police urging people to carry emergency gear

[longknife]

Getting a lot of criticism on Twitter.

The tweet by Police Scotland said: 'September is preparedness month. Emergencies can happen at any time and it's recommended to have a #GrabBag ready containing essential items including medication, copies of important documents, food/water, torch, radio and other personal items.'

The recommendations are part of annual preparedness month that is being promoted by local authorities and emergency services.

And here’s the post:

The post said: 'In these unsettled times, it's good to know that the police are always on hand to remind us that we should be in a permanent state of fear and borderline terror about the sword of Damocles hanging over all our heads. FEEL IT FEEL THE FEAR FEEL IIIIIIIT.'

and interesting to me but here in the USA there are all sorts of SURVIVAL Shows on mainline USA TV shows . I some times wonder if someone is getting USA Population ready for something . Everything from eating bugs to sleeping nude in bug infested survival shelters to killing 'cute widdle' animals and then drinking the warm blood of the newly deceased 'Widdle cuties'. ---------- makes me wonder .Longknife

Mobile phone and charger.

The phone would be great to contact family when the landlines go down. Until the battery is dead. In a major disaster the power would be off so I guess the charger could be used as kind of a bolo-on-a-string to whirl around one's head to fend off looters or maybe just to hear the pretty whirling sound.
