[NYP] UK families are suddenly being told to stock up on emergency supplies – and to prepare for war.
Wes Streeting, the UK’s defense secretary, went on a media blitz to push a new “Be Ready” campaign to boost Brits’ preparedness for crises — which he said could range from floods and wildfires to terrorism and cyber attacks and ultimately even war.
“There’s no sugarcoating the fact that we do live in a more dangerous and turbulent world,” Streeting told BBC’s “Newsnight.”
“It’s about saying to households across the country to be ready by just having some everyday essentials indoors should there be disruption from these sorts of events.” |
