Brits clear shelves of toilet paper, water and canned food After warnings of a possible war according to The Sun, British residents rushed to stock up on non-perishable food items, toilet paper and supplies in case of a power outage. Several brands of canned water and soups have already disappeared from sale. The reason for the excitement was the government's recommendations to prepare for emergency situations, including alleged threats from Russia. Earlier, British Defense Minister Wes Streeting warned that the country has about a thousand days left to prepare for a potential military conflict. Photo: Social networks.
