@first72763: Black Sky. 🌑 It's the name planners use for the night all of Britain goes dark. No power, for days. No water from the tap, no phones, no cash machines, no card payments. Planners have a saying: "we're nine meals from anarchy." And now Britain is getting ready: 🏠 The government wants every home to cope for three days. 📻 The BBC has its own Black Sky plan: an emergency radio studio on FM, with fuel, food and water for three days. ⚡ By the new year, the grid must be able to bring all of Britain back within five days. The government says there is no specific threat, and the Cabinet Office says the grid has never had a complete outage in 75 years. If it happens, the government recommends keeping these at home: a battery radio, a torch, water and some cash.

Yes or no 👇 Sources: BBC News (7 Nov 2026), Cabinet Office, GOV.UK, NESO. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

They say there is no threat so if all the electric goes off that means some people with security cameras will have no security measures meaning it will be a free for all for certain people to rob anything they want
