Already happening in other countries in the Workd. Egypt can’t fulfill its requested wheat contracts.

Without energy food production will have to decline. But I’m not sure less food will
be a problem for us in the U.K.

Well according to Tim Leung we can import everything we need and he works for the government so he would know, and I've seen his picture and he looks clever and he's got a waterfall in his garden which has won prizes so let's face it, he's an expert and he says its going to be OK!

Me, I'm off to fork more s%&t round my orchard just in case it doesn't turn out quite so rosy and the UK needs some cider apples!

i think scheduled power cuts / gas / fuel rationing will happen

food will be ok ………… just a LOT more expensive
There is plenty of Coal, Shale gas , reserves in this Country ,just the activists and agendas against it.
I don't think they would use the current supplies if the back tracked and followed every bit of it from its sources too.
But if you want energy, heat , power etc we got to use our own resources or starve, freeze or not power machinery or industries?
Wake up time!
 
how much food is wasted
super markets dropped the spec on wonky stuff
or a spud with bit of scab get it’s skin off what’s difference ,
too many eat with their eyes ,
bag of spuds tray of eggs and lower cuts of meat , can make some meals and stretch it out ,
but how many will cook , look at ads for just eat , take away convienience crap and expensive

reserves won’t boil my kettle today

this is going to be an immediate problem

small nuclear is the fastest solution- Rolls-royce make turn key plants that apparently can be live in about 6 months, use proven nuclear sub tech and can power a average town
