The thin veil of "civilised" society

[bigpaul]

I think your all getting confused with past history, don't get fixed ideas about the "blitz spirit" of WW2, we are in a totally new ball game, people are a lot more beligerant than they were in previous generations with violence not far under the surface. places like the far south west get ignored by TPTB NOW never mind after TSHTF, some politicians think the country ends at Bristol, and the only time Dave Cameron comes down here is for his holidays and even that is a token gesture/photo opportunity! given a catastrophic event TPTB will be hard pressed to control London-7 million and Birmingham(often referred to as the "second" city) 1 million. we now have a more diverse population which I believe would quickly revert to tribal violence, I believe place like the south west and north east would very quickly find their out on a limb and on their own.
