my moneys on the army, up until the point where they don't get anymore recruits[as they will have imprisoned or crippled most of the people who would join the army] to replace their losses overseas .

 

Depends who's got the live rounds

 

"cerfuw zones"? No leaving house after 9pm..what da hell....

I smell internal war...

I better start stacking up my glocks coz no fool is going to tell me to leave the streets and go home.

 

Well at least it gives them something to do other than murdering muslims in the middle east. If I had to choose between the lives of your average Iraqis or Baz of Basildon in his Burberry armed with a baseball bat and followed by his sovereign-ring ornated crew, I know who I'd prefer to live.

 

Ordinary soldiers have no powers of arrest and will not directly intervene in boisterous behaviour, but will act as a "calming and pacifying" influence, say Home Office officials.

Hmmmm, yes the army have always been known for their "calming and pacifying" reputation, i think our rising ninja clan would prob do a better job.
