The "Waitrose" Revolution: martial law to be declared in case of a no deal, apparently.

[tim]

Mandarins and presumably a few lonely satsumas have been briefing the Times about contingency plans in case of mass disorder following a no deal. Martial law, property confiscation, Hampstead and Tunbridge Wells under curfew are what we have to look forward to in April. The extreme centre is on the rise. No doubt they Powers That Be have their undercover cops infiltrating the PTA's, book groups, chess clubs, choirs and the Town's women's Guild in an attempt to get inside information of this subversive plotting.

Martial law plan to avert chaos after no-deal Brexit

Time to kill people who voted for leave then baggsy nibs on boris

 

[butchersapron]

What a handy revelation.

Don't/won't/can't read Murdoch's pay-walled shite, but presumably they're planning for food riots? Yeah?

 

[a_chap]

I hear the sky is falling in too.

I only read the free bits, so didn't get to all the nitty gritty, assuming there was any. Just more Brexit fear-mongering, in myopinion, still I love a good Millenarian narrative. Particularly, when it features the unusual suspects.

He's flogged it, so he won't care if it is.

Yep, all very Belloc's Jim and all that...but can't help finding it easy to imagine IDS gravely explaining to camera why it was necessary to open live fire on the criminals breaking open the food warehouse....regrettable etc. but necessary for law and order....

The army are always at hand for large scale public disorder anyway aren't they? Have any manouvers abroad or anything been cancelled or is it just the standard 'if the oiks kick off we' ll send the boys in'?

 

[kebabking]

I heard it's going to be Chlorine Gas to keep people queing for the ferries in line.

I mean, swimming pools have loads of Chlorine, so you know - wake up sheeple!

Yes, the story is that civil servants have been planning fo various scenarios. The outrage the other month was because they (apparently) hadn't been planning for various scenarios.

The defenders of parliamentary sovereignty don't seem to have much to say about the simple legal abrogation of it thus far.

The Pontins and Butlins are being converted into camps to hold the most dangerous of the partisans etc etc

 

[a_chap]

Even now the Death Squads are being organised so that, when/if Brexit happens, a sizeable percentage of the population will be exterminated to prevent that predicted "chaos".

 

[brogdale]

For the Waitrose clans that would amount to cruel and unusual treatment.

 

[likesfish]

Personally thought butlins lcould be used as an alternative to gitmo as is.
The average terror suspect would crack by the 2nd hour in the "fun" pool

Pontins and Butlins? Inhumane torture indeed.

But, as we'll no longer be bound by the Human Rights Act, we can torture at will

The human rights act will be the only statute left standing oddly enough. Liberalism's final victory.

No it's all smarter than that the pools fun but the noise is intense several hundred screaming kids in an echoing pool.
The indoor play centre is a giant jungle gym surrounded by fast food franchises and sweets to fuel the kids to a sugar high frenzy their is a pub to escape the noise but that's a sub harvester in grimness I think the average jihadi might make it to lunchtime
Gammons probably think it's paradise.

You need to buckle up, cupcake. I cope with the splash pool at Butlitz, and I'm a proper damp eye...

"My family and I were rounded up, sent here, lined up and executed but nonetheless it's an improvement on last year's stay" etc etc

 

[Pickman's model]

So there's round about 108,000 people in the army including reservists. Around 12,500 deployed abroad, so of the regular army there's about 69,000 who could do martial law stuff in the UK. There are 69 cities in the UK. So that's about 1,000-1,500 troops per city - assuming all troops deployed evenly - and 300-500 available at any one time assuming 3 "shifts". There's no way this could carry on for long, and if they shoot someone dead it'd light a blue touch paper

Mustard gas surely? Artisan hand made and carefully curated mustard gas.

Last time I stayed at Butlins I got food poisoning from a very suspect batch of whelks.

True story.

As opposed to getting salmonella from Novichooks?

So about 100 times more than the normal levels of police officers put out under the party of law n order...

But the armed forces aren’t just the army. The navy could oversee prison hulks made from converted Hoseasons narrow boats. The RAF would set up their camps in repurposed Sandals five star exclusive couples resorts in the Maldives, and would have 11 prisoners in total.

We've got more drones than the RAF, though!

 

[cupid_stunt]

I am sure Seaborne Freight could provide a few prison ships.
