Not many Former Forces around or people I think would want to get involved in fighting back. I would however Don my CGB, and go down happily fighting those robbing the defenceless. Not that many people I know including Former Bootnecks actually watch movies and think, what would I do if that happened here. They seem to think, this is the UK, couldn't happen here. Well James, as you wrote, it could. It will, not tomorrow but very soon. It has already been pointed out to us, our banks are easy targets, our transport system is an easy target, our phones, water, electricity are all easy targets. We are encouraged to use a cashless system, I fell for it for a while, it felt good, I saved money then realised when the Grandkids came to visit, I never had the usual cash to slip them. Am back to using cash, stashing money.
Another thing I have always believed, COVID was a practise run for what is to come. That showed how easy it is to get an airborne bio weapon spread, and how difficult Goverments found to deal with it.
The Military and Police have dwindled away. What we have left would be sent to Major City's to defend those. We common 5/8,s would have to defend ourselves.
Terrifying scenario.
Hate to say it, but a potentially accurate scenario. Rivetingly written James, as always. 👍🏼
Have thought about this myself many times.

Wake up UK, Hollywood is getting real.
Very thought provoking. I wonder what our esteemed political leaders would make of it .
They have had that scenario documented and locked away for years. A simple case of, we are alright Jack.
Just makes it clear how vulnerable are we without our security services and intelligence.
