Britain’s deputy PM Oliver Dowden has warned the public they should buy candles, torches and battery-powered radios in the event of a crisis cutting power supplies.

The senior Tory cabinet minister said Britons should be more “personally resilient”, as he suggested they were too dependent on devices activated by the internet.

A national “resilience academy” will be launched to help people and businesses prepare for future pandemics, natural disasters and cyber-attacks, Mr Dowden has said.

Rishi Sunak’s deputy announced the plans in the Commons – claiming the new academy will help the “whole of society” prepare for major risks.

 

Candles? ✔️ 

Generator? ✔️ 

Battery Radio? ✔️

Want to swap me an Uzi?

I'll give you 3 boxes of fire lighters, a pack of AA batteries, 4 candles and I'll chuck in some distress flares to sweeten the deal?

Will 3 boxes (each contain 24 packs) suffice?
