This has been drip-fed into the media over months now, though this is perhaps the most frank a senior government minister has yet been on the issue. It is pretty obvious that the government believes that a massive attack on national infrastructure is a matter of when, rather than if, in the medium term. We also know that our national ability to stockpile natural gas has been compromised by years of poor strategic decision making, and that there is precious little slack in our power generating infrastructure for the same reasons.

There are too many ways in which things can now go wrong, with more powerful storms influenced by climate change, the increasing likelihood of a rogue AI causing havoc, or a direct attack on national infrastructure by a hostile state (Iran, or Russia, or both), exacerbated by the lack of resilience in many areas thanks to years of government complacency and poor planning.

So … who’s prepping? And what are you keeping in your garage or shed for when the zombie apocalypse rises?
