    Default Brit government planning for Brexit-provoked ' civil disorder '

    Sajid Javid refuses to rule out civil disorder in case of no-deal Brexit

    Home secretary says government is ‘preparing for all contingencies’

    Sajid Javid has refused to rule out the possibility that a no-deal Brexit could cause a sharp rise in crime and widespread protests escalating into weeks of civil disorder, saying it was important that police prepare for any such eventualities.

    Contingency plans for a no-deal departure drawn up by the National Police Coordination Centre say shortages of medicine could “feed civil disorder”, while more general price rises could prompt “widespread protest which could then escalate into disorder”.

    The document, leaked to the Sunday Times, cautions that there could an increase in crime, notably theft and robbery, amid shortages of food and drugs, as well as the “expectation that more people will become ill”.

    It says the primary concern would be a shortage of food, medicines and other goods leading to “civil disorder leading to widespread unrest”. This could last for up to three months either side of the departure date next March, the report says, raising the “real possibility” that soldiers would have to be deployed on the streets, even with police leave postponed.

    'Civil disorder' will be an understatement, I believe, when the full domestic horrors of Brexit stupidity strike home.

    What's to stop them holding a second referendum to get back on the European track ? It's clear that Brits have changed their minds by the millions yet their ' government ' is cliff-edge bound with its dumb foot to the metal.
    Do you think that Germans who voted for Adolf wouldn't have changed their vote if given the opportunity later ?

    Geez- who the fuck is going to re-elect Trump ?

    America has done the same, the power stricture knowing full well it has lost all semblance of legitimacy, and the next economic crash is an inevitability. We have made incarceration/detainment/torture a for profit corporate business in which people can be enslaved legally to perform work leased out to corporations in a post-industrial society without enough living wage jobs for all. We have militarized our police departments who now murder unarmed citizens in the streets with impunity, having been trained by the Israelis in population control and subjugation. We've seen training exercises/domestic war games in Occupy, DAPL protests and Ferguson for example. We cage children separated from parents not yet even determined to be "illegal". Every citizen in the nation is under constant corporate state surveillance. 1 in 5 children raised in poverty. A sitting president can have any citizen targeted for assassination sans any legal/judicial review and Habeas Corpus can be denied. As a befuddled and subjugated population begs to be walled in by the power structure.

    Everything is in place.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Britain is in a tough spot. Like in America, our presidential election and Brexit went terribly wrong like Britains. They have to do what was voted for and tough it out, even though most experts predict a disaster. American has 2 more years of watching a Trump mess infect the country. The Brits are just getting started. Scotland will probably excape this time.They have options. There are strange times ahead for both of us.

    Which from the other side it is.
    It must be the only national flag in the world constantly signalling distress.
