Regarding the hopes expressed that this is the start of the revolution ~ Take note of Jackboot Jacqui's recent revelations about how many people have been trained to deal with a major terror threat. Note also that, despite claims of "overstretch" the Armed Forces are ready and able to help the police enforce this government's will.
Do you really imagine "They" haven't thought of the possibility of an angry mob bearing ropes coming down Whitehall looking to hang some of them.
"British Squaddies won't fire on the British Public" ~ well they've done it often enough before.
Unfortunately for the government, given the total abortion that the armed forces has now become due to lack of funding and a complete lack of competence by the Defence Minister and the MOD, not to mention the general feeling that the only reason troops were sent to Iraq was because of oil, I can see the squaddies joining the mob.
A case in point is Battleback, this is a scheme that helps rehabilitate soldiers who have lost limbs or paralysis due to their injuries. This wasnt developed by the MOD, but by a Lt. Colonel in a pub when he decided he wanted to help those soldiers who had been so badly injured but he felt weren't getting the support they deserved.
