It could happen, idiots on facebook having lockdown parties, people shopping for shoes and sitting in the pub laughing telling anyone stupid enough to listen that they'll do what they want.

The roads at my place are just as busy with people definitely not doing anything important, it's a shitshow of selfish bastards who'll be full of tears when grandad keels over stone dead.

But do not finish your round as quick as possible and return to the office early

Just been on the phone with my old man who's ex forces (Boer war?) but still in the loop and he says it's been going on for two weeks.

He reckons it's just a case of shoring up the cops when half of them start dropping with coronavirus.

Heard similar from a family member fairly high up in the NHS.

Friday coming I was told.

Be careful what you see on Facebook. It's a swamp full of conspiracy theories and propaganda. Even though Blowjob Johnson mentioned earlier this month that he may initiate a plan for the UK military to be on standby to support the police and embed MOD medics into hospitals to assist the NHS, some of the conspiracy whack jobs go further and assume that martial law will be imposed across the country and that everyone getting tested for COVID-19 will have all other personal details stored in a massive government Deep State-type database to be used for nefarious means. MUHAHAHAHA!

Even this guy sounds paranoid:

It's a convoy of tank moving equipment being redeployed to another base as is often the case.

Coronavirus: 'Absolutely No Plans' For Military To Guard Supermarkets
https://www.forces.net/news/coronavirus ... permarkets

"There is no 'Operation Hades', as was reported in one media. "There are absolutely no plans to send military personnel to guard supermarkets. "However, despite trying to clarify that with the media, there is still an intention in some parts of the media to continue to write these stories."

Too much scaremongering going on. All pics circulating can be debunked in seconds. Trailers with military hardware have foreign number plates, The tanks are driving on the wrong side of road, pic of army in London is Clapham
Where there is a cadet base, the same texts are changing the source. My main worry is people are actually falling for this. Not saying uk won’t go into lockdown but come on have a think before spreading s**t

Exactly. At least it's not as bad as some paranoiacs in the United States...

It would make perfect sense to make use of the military in a time like this. We use them when it comes to floods and to deliver humanitarian aid. Why not use them for this. I fully expect over the coming months the country will be put on lockdown. Curfews etc. We will need the Military to help coordinate and impose such a thing.
