I have heard from sources that have been trust worthy in the past that there is rumblings afoot to include 'food hoarding' and 'stored food stuffs' into this act and its being 'discussed' at the moment at a low level. It is NOT concrete as yet and I await another source and a government Pdf, BUT and its a big but, it already goes on in this bill to state..
Quote:
(b) provide for or enable the requisition or confiscation of property (with
or without compensation);[i.e. everything you or your business owns could be confiscated without compensation]
(c) provide for or enable the destruction of property, animal life or plant
life (with or without compensation);[i.e. everything you or your business owns could be destroyed without compensation]
(d) prohibit, or enable the prohibition of, movement to or from a specified
place;

In short, they will be able to take what they want, how they want when they want, and yes I do believe that this rumbling rumour is true, and that if food stuffs start getting scarce, hoarders and the like will get targetted.
HIDE YOUR FOOD PEOPLE.
