Rumour

[Ihavenojob]

That the army has been called in and the whole country will be in lock down tomorrow. Comes from a couple of sources (hush hush) , convoys of army trucks along the M3, but as per title, just a rumour.

 

[ReJect]

Highly likely to be correct.
Military will be briefed and made ready.

Only in the south east, where all the numpties live.

Not so many of them.

"The size of Britain's armed forces has fallen for the ninth consecutive year, new Ministry of Defence figures show.

The Army, the RAF and the Royal Navy have all seen a decline in the number of fully-trained personnel - with the Army experiencing the biggest fall.

Labour said the government was "running down" the UK military - calling it a "crisis" in recruitment and retention.

The Ministry of Defence said the armed forces continued to meet all their operational requirements.

The latest figures showed the Army was more than 7,000 troops short of the government's target of 82,000.

In July there were 74,440 full-time and fully-trained troops, down from 76,880 last year."

One of the journos on the Bojo Show agrees with you.

Tubes and buses still full.
Pubs, cafes, and restaurants ditto.

A friend of ours who' daughter is a doctor in Paddington has just texted her the same news. Not sure whether she has seen them with her own eyes or is just passing on the rumour. She is a bit of a drama queen. Oh, and she said all the ventilators are taken at Paddington now.

Mate in the services said they are probably just going on exercises. People don't normally see them being transported because it usually happens at night to avoid congestion on the roads.
PS The guy who posted the video is lucky he wasn't caught using his phone whilst driving. LOL

Just re read my source, lock down Friday, but will be announced Thursday night to stop panic buying! The words horse and stable door spring to mind.

 

[charliegolf]
