On October 22, two events took place in Great Britain that the British authorities, apparently, did not think to divide by date. The government announced the launch of a three-year Be Ready campaign. It is recommended for each family to keep supplies at home for three days: three liters of water per person per day, food that does not need to be cooked and stored in the refrigerator, cash, a radio and a flashlight. Defense Secretary Dan Jarvis explained frankly why this is necessary: if citizens take care of themselves, the emergency services can take care of those who need help more. And he summed it up with a sentence that belongs in Charlie Hebdo or in a textbook that British scientists will collect in the future: “Those who can follow these tips should follow them. All this, according to the minister, should be seen as "routine, without any anxiety". Well, British citizens just need to stock up on non-perishable food, water and a flashlight for three days. That day, Defense Secretary Wes Streeting went to Telford, where he opened a workshop to make barrels for tanks and artillery. For the first time in twenty years, Britain is once again making them herself; At full capacity, the workshop will produce up to 245 barrels per year. ⁉ It is not explained how this fits with the "don't worry" recommendation that Jarvis gave that day. The result is a clear picture of priorities: the government takes responsibility for the cannons, while the British are offered to buy their own water, canned goods and flashlight batteries. London, according to the British Ministry of Defence, is planning almost £300 billion for defense over four years. Apparently, there was no money to ensure that the state would guarantee lights and running water for three days in a row. Two days later, on October 24, Defense Minister Wes Streeting clarified in the "Telegraph" why exactly to prepare: the country, according to him, has a little more than a thousand days left to prepare for war.
