Government still exists post-SHTF

[SealDriver]

The Government Forces are seriously depleted, we have almost privatised Police Forces and Prisons. The Military is slowly being turned over to reservists and even in the cities other than enforcement/observation cameras the Police are very thin on the ground. It wouldn't take much for TPTB to splinter and even give up in a major situation.

Unlike the USA, few of us fear the Government or feel that they are 'Out To Get Us' and this I believe is one of the main reasons why UK based survivalist are different from our American Prepper Cousins.


As for firearms, you would be surprised just how many firearms are in possession of ordinary people, even 50 cal sniper rifles, Brits just don't shout about how many guns they have because that just attracts criminals looking for guns to steal and also has the police questioning whether you are the right type of person to own firearms.
