    So this tweet starts chatting about how this tweeter, as an ethnic minority, is stockpiling in preparation for Brexit going very far South in London: https://twitter.com/sunnysingh_n6/status/1097996412393000967?s=21

    I’m wondering myself...

    How could Brexit go South for Ireland and the UK, and what would you preppers say is the difference in what someone in the UK should do to prep & someone here in Ireland?

    In my mind WCS for the UK is the usual country falling apart stuff where it’s a matter of supply of essentials, but I think that here in Ireland we would have, in addition, the threat that the hardest of hardliners would see invasion as an option to solve the hard border problem.

    So, what think ye? What are you doing to prep for Brexit?

    We could have interrupted supply chains and a need for products to be changed to dearer airfreight. The UK may have nothing coming in at all.

    We produce far more of our own food than the UK does. Retailers have been moving supply chains to avoid the landbridge for months.

    You may find obscure brands - Ola not HB (packaged in the UK), Henkel laundry products, etc - replacing known ones and occasional shortages but I think that's about as bad as it'll get here in a worst case scenario. UK will be full on rationing in the same case.
