Have they really put the army on standby?

I can assure you that the govt. has asked Chief Constables to plan for possible rioting and that one aspect of this is the possibility of having to call in the army. Obviously this is all a worst case scenario.

That's what has been reported by the media over here, Sickly... obviously, that does not mean that it is true. Seems a rather bizarre over-reaction if it is true though. Not spotted any tanks on the streets yet, or even any protesters either. Who knows what the government has got planned to make them think that they are going to need the assistance of the army to stay in power. Maybe they have been tipped off that Boris is planning a military coup?
