armed forces on the streets

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.

well it never occurred to me that the army would turn on the gov, very interesting....as the country side takes on all the survivalists and refugee's fleeing from the towns and cities they would be a force to reckon with!! each farm and land would be a secure base where authority would have to be granted by t.p.t.b. if there was community's being built there would be unified strength. nice view, has opened my mind.

loving it m8 "westminster bubble" n'all!!! nice. sorry if i didnt make sence re the above, its my first stab at this

no. no, dont get me wrong, i'm no expert when it comes to scenarios-i've only written one myself.
