Preparing against terror attack

[Mandeigh Wells]

anyone in the UK will be aware that our government is sending out a booklet to all house hold to prepare us for emergencies and terrorist attacks......

the adverts on the TV have stated...read it, put it in a safe place and get on with your lives..... :rolleyes:

this website was sent to me today......Preparing for Emergencies (http://www.preparingforemergencies.co.uk/)

check it out guys!! :up:

Yeah, I read about that in the paper....it said that most people thought it was a "little" redundant.

Is that how you feel about it?

i think the whole idea is scarmongering and a waste of tax payers money....

but did you read the website???? it may give you some food for thought...not all is as it first seems!

[Paul B]

:laugh:

(slowly turning different shades of red).....Yes,that would have been better if I had read it first!

Good stuff,Mandeigh! :laugh:

Best Regards,

I didn't see much in there that an intelligent person with a Jr. High education wouldn't already know.

But if you ever really want to know the basics of covering your behind if things go south here is a primer:

The Sas Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea

by John Wiseman

I have a copy I keep in my bug out bag. Covers most the basics pretty well.

All the government want to acheive with those booklet things is to make it out that they are doing something to prepare for any terrorist attacks. The spoof website is pretty funny. My school/college was a military run establishment so as well as doing all the school work we did lots of mandatory survival skills - made me the man I am today :D lol

It is a bit like the booklet "Protect and survive", the Governments comic book on nuclear war. In that it tells you how to build a shelter, whitewash the windows, put the cat out and cancel the milk, all in under 4 minutes.

But htis new one.... lets wait and see :confused2

A quote from the website:
What's being done to protect the UK? Naff all. Next question?


:laugh: So god damn true :laugh: :up:

ahem...you missed the important bit......the site was a joke! :rolleyes: :laugh:

[The Nephilim]

Well I do not need mine delivered, I got it downloaded from the official website. They even have one for Scotland and Wales too.

So Mandeigh, you best get reading. :rolleyes:

[StanLee]

Well you know what the best option is during an attack...

"Duck and cover!" :eek:

[Mandeigh Wells]

or as my dear old grandad would say...stick your head between your knees and kiss yer arse goodbye!

OK, my inspection was obviously cursory.

Had I noticed Department of Vague Paranoia I may have caught on.

[StanLee]

Why cover ducks for?

So that you can roast them later in the NBC shelter!
