It’s interesting that having family on mainland Europe they’ve been dealing with preparedness since the Ukraine invasion … including stuff on prepping amazingly. UK policy seems to be to try and keep the public blissfully ignorant on how to prepare or adjust.
Meanwhile endless queues at petrol stations already.

I don’t think most people have the mindset to want to learn how to prep even if they were offered free training

Mm I am unsure that’s the case, though people obviously always prefer not to think about change or threat … I think that perhaps in mainland Europe we’ve had threats nearby (eg Russia) since WW2 and it’s perceived possibly culturally more normal to prepare for “storms” without people flipping out into a panic, particularly compared to eg UK.

This is not the case in Australia either. Our remoteness leads us to exemplify the nature of preparedness. It is a state where you cannot be too sufficient.
We have big growing awareness that our preparedness for oil shocks are insufficient and there are growing angers.
