There's a serious load of assumptions there and in order for your hypothesis to work out,
all of your factors need to come into play.
i.e. "for some reason...." "lack of money" - Quite possible economy could go down the pan.
"lack of will" --- I can't see that unless everyone in HMG is out of their trees on mogadon.
Can't Import. ---- Quite possible of lines of credit dry up but although they might for about 10 days, I can't IMHO see it any longer.
Admittedly it will get very nasty and those of us who have prepared will be better off.
I had always thought that Urban Pond Life would be the first to be shot when they riot but you need to compare them to the old inhabitants of the USSR when it collapsed. Never underestimate a population who have been used to stealing, skyving, ducking and diiving to survive. Having said all that be prepared
