A. The BBC doesn't joke!
The BBC *IS* a joke, just like FOX "News" and CNN. Any media outlet in our lifetimes is rife with "political agenda". The First Amendment died a long time ago.....
B. This has been coming for awhile and has been in the news for about a week here in the US.
"Awhile" means since, at least, the 1950's. Don't think, for once second, that any of this is "recent."
C. WTF is happening to the UK?
The same thing that's happening in Egypt, Greece, America and many other parts of the World.
Except for Canada. Last I heard, Doug and Bob McKenzie were running for Prime Minister there.
D. We in the states have already been put under executive order the NDAA and Marshall Law. Look it up! Scary! http://www.infowars.com/obama-signs-martial-law-bill-ndaa-now-law/
And you really think any of that matters? The American Government let its citizens know back in 2000, they don't give two sh!ts what the civilian population cares about or thinks. G Dubya bought is way into office and not a single person stood against it. There was no "public outcry", there was no demand for a "recount". The sheep just kept watching television.
When I speak of what's happening the US to people I know they tell me I'm full of $h*t and that it would never happen. It already has. They're building FEMA camps at an unprecidented rate! I really don't even dare describe who is doing it in the post - but it's obvious. B.&H.C. and G.S.!
You'd be surprised how many splinter cells are out there, already prepping to fight against the American Government and their military, in the event of civil war. Trust me, when I say that Congress has already declared the civilian population as "enemies of the state." When Congress decides do abolish the Second Amendment, it's all over......
