RE: The thin veil of "civilised" society
BP is right. This would be a completely new situation. At the moment plod travel frpm their homes to a riot area to bolster the numbers. That won't happen. Can you see Plod in Liverpool leaving family to travel to Tottenham to uphold a very flakey situation. Especially when that situation is going to be happening in Toxteth at the same time with Plods cousins and his son or daughters family members.
Same with soldiers, do you see a soldier going into a bunker and leaving his family outside. TPTB won't have room or supplies for the families of their servants.
It is OK when the situation is as it is now but will quickly fall apart when an event happens. The sad part is TPTB don't see that and when they are locked away with a few 100 armed soldiers who know their families are dying then we may get the revolution we could do with now.
