Who would have thought it, reserved, 'we don't think zombies are real, that's preposterous', little old Britain is prepared for a possible attack by zombies.
Let's be honest here, we do have a pretty good advantage as it is. Geographically we couldn't really have a better location, we are an island and islands are surrounded by water, obviously, this is a huge advantage for us, we close the borders, close the airports, no one comes in, if you go out, you can't come back and we are pretty much sorted, the virus cannot spread to a country if its borders are closed... Unless we have zombies that can walk under water, or swim. Then we are sort of screwed.
We do have big, hefty, strong buildings which a zombie most definitely could not get into. Take Greenwich University for example. Big, strong buildings, surrounded by gates and fences and the Thames at one side for an escape route, or trade route via water. Sorted. Although, Greenwich is a densely populated area, so that would be a bit risky.
We do have countryside though. Miles and miles of grass and fields and forest. If you're a farmer, you have a chance - you need big fences though. Our land is very fertile too, we are able to grow crops to harvest, potatoes especially, as potatoes are the vegetables that keep people alive - it's true, we found that out in the 1500s when Columbus 'discovered' the New World. But unfortunately, our land isn't as good as the Americas, so they sort of one upped us there.
Another thing, England is full of underground bunkers from World War 1 and World War 2. We even have bunkers from when we feared a nuclear attack. They're probably haunted, but I guess that would be least of our worries.
Britain has an advance knowledge of filtration, plumbing and sanitation systems. I mean, we practically invented them. This would ensure clean water for everybody. Hooray.
We have medicine, raid the right places and you're in for a treat. There's a pharmacy on every corner, shame it's not the same for hospitals though.
The Minsitry Of Defence stated that 'in the event of an apocalyptic incident (eg zombies), any plans to rebuild and return England to its pre-attack glory would be led by the Cabinet a Office, and thus, any pre-planning activity would also taken place there.' And that their role would be to provide military support to civilians.
