A new tongue-in-cheek website tell Brits what to stockpile for Brexit depending on how panicked they are about the UK leaving the EU.
Three options of “Brexit angst” ranging from “I’m a little concerned,” to “I’m pretty worried” and “I’m properly panicking” can be selected on the BrexitPrepping site.
The Standard selected the third option and received a list of items to order from Tesco that would allow a family of four to survive for three months.
The shopping list included 31 bottles of alcohol, including nearly a litre of absinthe and 12 bottles of red wine, as well as 96 tins of sardines, 480 tea bags, 90 tins of corned beef, and 60 tins of baked beans.
Above the shopping list a comment reads: “You’ll have the last laugh with this substantial stockpile that should see you through a few months of chaos and civil unrest. Includes absinthe!”
A "last laugh" list would would set The Standard back £1,415.
For those less concerned, a week’s stockpile costs roughly £111 and a one-month survival kit is a £459 investment.
“A Brexiteer like Jacob Rees-Mogg might choose option one, for example, but a full-blown Remainer like Anna Soubry would want option three,” the site’s London-based creators, Ben Carey and Henrik Delehag, told Bloomberg.
“The idea was to make people realise what we are getting into, by turning stockpiling from a last-resort activity for the paranoid into a normal online service that everyone needs,” they said
Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that about 1,250 users have been to the site since it went live Monday.
Even without the help of the website, Brexit preppers are already stockpiling months’ worth of food, water and even clothes as March 29 rapidly approaches.
Worried parents have created “hamster lists” of essentials in case there are blockages at Britain’s ports.
