Poles apart

Conflicting advice from the experts. Those in security think we should have a 3-day supply of food, water, medicines and other essentials on hand for when the Russians blast the North Sea energy pipelines and Britain goes dark.
    Military experts, on the other hand, think this is a daft idea and we should be doing more to defend ourselves against the Russian ships which sneak around in our water, up to no good.
    That’s the thing about experts. There’s always lots of them around and they always think their point of view is the right one. Which is why dealing with the Chinese plague turned out to be such a shambles.
