Police plan for riots and crimewave if there is no-deal Brexit

snippet:

Police chiefs are drawing up contingency plans to deal with widespread civil disorder at the country's borders and ports in the event of a no-deal Brexit, according to a leaked report.

The bombshell document, prepared by the National Police Co- ordination Centre, warns that the "necessity to call on military assistance is a real possibility" in the weeks around Britain's departure from the EU.

The report, which is due to be discussed at a meeting of the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) next week, claims that "widespread leave embargoes" will be required. Some forces, such as Kent, are expected unilaterally to cancel rest days and leave immediately after March 29.

The document also warns that a no-deal Brexit could lead to a rise in crime, particularly theft and robbery, as Britain suffers food and drug shortages with the "expectation that more people will become ill".

The revelation comes as the government prepares this week to publish the final tranche of reports on the possible consequences of a no-deal Brexit.

All in all, it's not going as smoothly as Brexit politicians promised. Surprise.

But like people in the US say, this is a modern civilized country. You have nothing to worry about. Why believe the government...

would commit offenses against the people
won't be there to protect you
would have higher priorities than you
won't have your best interests and will stand up to their overlords in the name of the people

When the people say out, and the bureaucrats stay in.
Its time to tar and feather the lot.
Same thing happens here only quietly.
When the people tell the state, we want this. The state says ok, pass your silly law.
We will just defund it, and it will go nowhere.
Washingrad is famous for it.

I always look for the weasel words: e.g., could, may, might, possibly, etc. Then ask myself, does letting this go public make it more likely to happen, or less likely?

Those who are paying attention, and can exercise some restraint with their discretionary spending, will be prepared.
Those who aren't, won't.

Experts...
....Those individuals hired by our Media and Political Masters to opine on the subjects that they have no actual knowledge of themselves, but need to appear as if they do. The primary requirements for the expert are to; 1) not care/notice/realize their previous predictions were proven by actual events to be completely wrong, and then 2) carefully analyse their now shown to be idiotic/failed prediction, while avoiding responsibility or embarrassment, and then 3) making a new idiotic prediction while maintaining a straight face while cashing their check.

'I don't trust the government to look after me or my dog': meet the Brexit stockpilers

snippet:

Jo Elgarf doesn't look like you would imagine a prepper to look. She's not a libertarian, camouflaged and armed to the eyeballs, crawling around the woods in Montana, skinning a squirrel for breakfast and fuelling up for the apocalypse. She lives with her husband and three young children in a sleepy suburb of south-west London.

Elgarf is happy to call herself a prepper, though; she is a member – and a moderator – of one of a growing number of prepper groups on social media. Hers – an anti-Brexit Facebook group called 48% Preppers – gets between 100 and 200 requests a day to join. Everyone wants to be ready for a no-deal Brexit.

The stockpiling is not too extreme in Elgarf's case; it just means the kitchen cupboards are stuffed full of pasta, sauces, rice, tins, milk powder and washing powder. There are a few things she wouldn't normally get – such as tinned vegetables – which can go to a food bank if they're not needed. Otherwise, it's just a bit more of the usual. Elgarf reckons they have got enough to last the family from a month to six weeks.

The group is not about scaremongering, she says. Quite the opposite – it's about calming like-minded people down, and about promoting an old-fashioned larder mentality. "Have a look in your cupboard; if you got snowed in for a month, could you cope? We're not predicting you won't get anything. What we're saying is: you may walk into a shop and can't find any rice. Have you got something at home to replace it?
