Pandemic

[JohnKent]

We have not had conscription in Uk, for many years now but there is provision in law for it, during an 'emergency'. The latest version is The Civil Contingencies Act of 2004, which loosely interpreted means that if 'they' declare an emergency citizens rights are suspended for the duration.

What does this really mean ?. Well, one can expect the casualty rate among the police and army to be about the same as for civillans and there are not going to be enough left on their feet to control the civillian populace. This shortfall will probably be rectified by importing foreign mercenries. Their plan is that Law and order will prevail ... at any cost.

One way to keep the populace quiet is to make sure that water, electricity, gas, telephnes etc ... continue to work .... despite an estimated 60% reduction in able bodied manpower. In any urban area there will be thousands of bodies to be disposed of every day and the security services will be too busy to do it. Supermarkets and other public places will have to be closed to prevent the virus spreading, so how do the unprepared get their food and medication ?. The answer in both cases is conscription of able bodied civillians. Those who have previously caught the virus and survived will be especially sort after to care for the infected, since they will be immune until the next mutation.

There is nothing new with this and the last time it happened was in 1947, when all able bodied men in the fens had to turn out in the storm to fill sandbags.
