    So what's worth panicking over?
    You are aware that a significant number of families have to choose between putting on the heating or feeding their kids?

      Will you please quantify that? Then a targeted approach to solving the issue can be devised?

        Sure.

        As of 2017, 20% of UK people live in poverty including 8 million working-age adults, 4 million children and 1.9 million pensioners. Research by the JRF found nearly 400,000 more UK children and 300,000 more UK pensioners were in poverty in 2016-17 compared with 2012–13
        It's a big ******* target. Devise away.

          It's a big ******* target if you want to stretch the boundaries of what quantifies as "poverty" in order to appease all the pious members of the loony Left. Devise away.

            I was assuming that only a small proportion of "things" will rise in price significantly due to a no deal Brexit agreements.

            Of course if everything goes up 15 or 20%, then a lot of people will be in big financial trouble.

                I'd suggest stockpiling Symjepi and Auvi-Q devices with long expiry (If MF hasn't already bought up the UK supply to sell on Amazon at overinflated prices)

                  There is scarcely any need for one then. You are more than capable of doing that unhindered.
