I dunno, I’ve lost count. Still it’s martial law now.
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain has the option of using martial law to quell civil disorder that might ensue under a no-deal Brexit, but that is not the focus of the government’s attention, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Sunday.
The Sunday Times cited unnamed officials as saying the government had been examining the powers at its disposal if a no-deal Brexit resulted in civil disobedience, including martial law, curfews, and the use of the army to quell rioting.
Asked by the BBC’s Andrew Marr, if the government was considering the possibility of martial law, Hancock said “Not specifically, no.”
Oh, I’m sure that people like the idiot Owen Jones will stage demonstrations. Likely as not Antifa will have a tantrum and there will be some violent scuffles. But martial law? No, I very much doubt that. This is project fear on steroids. Much like the food and medicine shortages and the end of the world as we know it. What it does show us is the absolute contempt with which these people hold a democratic result they do not like and that they are prepared to use any dirty trick available to them to overturn it.
It’s more likely that they’ll need martial law in the event that Brexit is stolen from those who voted for it, plus emergency morgues for the bodies of treacherous remainiac MPs.
Exactly what I was going to say.
Why emergency morgues? Midden heaps would suffice and be more appropriate.
I was going to post that too. It’s what I was saying yesterday to a group of like minded friends. They agreed too.
Yes these Remainer MP’s will be in big trouble if Brexit does not happen.
Are they really so out of touch that they think that a no deal Brexit will cause civil unrest rather than them trying to overturn the referendum result? It seems to me that both sides are opposed to accepting what amounts to an abject surrender to the EU. on the other hand, the very principle of democracy itself is at stake if our leaving doesn’t happen. Incandescent rage doesn’t do justice to the way people will feel about it.
We (Met police) got an email today cancelling all our weekends off in April this year-just in case. We have not got the numbers to police anywhere properly let alone impose martial law. It’s laughable but our senior officers are toeing the party line for fear of not getting the next rank.
The feminised ethnic heavy police will be ran out of town.
Project fear indeed. “Un-named officials”? These Remoaners are determined to look ridiculous. What will happen will be more akin to January 1st 2000 and the infamous Y2K. Business as usual. Only the foolish and incompetent will be caught napping.
There is no military left with which to impose martial law the tiny army would be lost in just one major city, the entire UK armed forces could fit comfortably into Old Trafford
Whatever you do on March 30th, don’t walk near bridges or high buildings as you’ll get squashed by bloated Remoaners chucking themselves off.
They will only need martial law if we don’t get Brexit.
Some form of armoured hat might be in order then.
An old German pickelhaube, perhaps? With a prize for whoever skewers the most?
