All well and good Greg, but what about the fate of your family while you are serving your inevitable jail term?
The legal system will be the last thing to break under the strain and penalties will probably become very harsh as we start to slide down the post PO slope.
Yes, I agree actually - but you haven't met my family.
In any case, I expect to see the public disarmed in the style of Germany in the 1930's, all done in one day. It's what I would do very quickly following being appointed Dictator-in-Chief.
Also, besides disarming the public, as the major DIC in charge, I would also garrison troops in the countryside, even billet them within the poulation, after I had used DEFRA and Forestry Commision records to establish just where the essentials - food and timber - were located.
Got a holding number, applied for a felling licence lately - be afraid, be very afraid.

I'm pretty sure I know what you're implying and I agree with you. Just explain your reasoning a tad more, please.

Iknow, I know, it's all very American.
Thought so.
Turning signs round is a favourite prank in the west of Ireland...and they've just had a push on actually putting direction signs up, a first in most places round here.
I experience pleasure and pains, and pursue goals in service of them, so I cannot reasonably deny the right of other sentient agents to do the same - Steven Pinker
Oh that's all right then. I've always considered myself TPTNB (The Powers That Not Be) and very comfortable with it. Thanks.
TPTNB stand to one side of TPTB and the Sheeple ready to step in when (and if) they've finished with each other.

I used to take holidays in what one quarter of me calls the old country and used to love finding crossroads where two arms of the signpost would point to Killkeel, one saying 6 and the other saying 10 (units unknown, probably High King's Miles). Local knowledge meant you knew that the best way to Killkeel was the third way (the fourth being the way from which you came).
