armed forces on the streets

[Paul]

Just a small point.
Would have been better making our day by having the soldiers rebelling and mounting a military coup and shooting all the politicians.
It would half their workload and I'm pretty sure they'd never have to pay for another pint of beer EVER!

So back to the scenario (Which is a good 8/10 incidentally).
AS BP says, there aren't enough troops combined to cover the whole country but those living near forces bases may also get some attention. That would be me.

This would be TPTB's end game after a raft of regulations were introduced to quell trouble.
A raft of laws that would have sent most preppers scuttling off a long time ago.

Here in farming country, I'm not exactly sure what the reaction would be.
Most everyone hates the government and if the lean green fighting machine went farm to farm, things might get "interesting".
Imagine the RAF trying to search houses with say one or two squad leaders from the Army.
Apart from them not being able to handle the flying pots and pans, if they got trigger happy, my money is on the tractor or manatee rolling all over their vehicles.

What might work in the city just wouldn't work in the countryside I'm thinking.
