They say this and then in the next breath suggest there will be 'potential food shortages ' if the ports remain closed as well as their other worst case scenario projections  evil:

They think we're stupid don't they.  We've been progressively stocking up for weeks but I bet we've forgotten something important.  Bog roll count is OK, beer is Ok, collapso mostly OK, Marmite OK, Twiglets at tolerable level, Doritos running a tad low.

Is there anything else I should be worrying about?
