Good planning. They have also started planning for airlifting out a million Brits in Spain when the Euro crashes and the Spanish banks close.
Foreigners always get the worst treatment in disaster situations - especially man-made disasters. They can’t vote so nobody cares about them and the politicians have their hands full with irate constituents already. Even if the banks are open foreigners will not be able to get their money out when the Euro goes down the tubes.
ya know what would be useful for the UK at this time?
