The thing about deploying the military is: what exactly are they supposed to do?
First of all, is there even a procedure for such a domestic deployment? I assume there is. Might be a lot easier than in the USA. In a pinch I am sure someone can find some 1400's provision about deploying troops to rules lawyer. But then we get into the actual objectives:
Is the plan is to have them assist the police on riot control? Because that is bad they aren't trained for that. You are asking for problems. Soldiers shoot, they don't police.
If the plan is shooting, you are asking for a escalation and a international incident. And if it does happen chances are whoever shoots is gonna find themselves the target of the waaahg and not only beaten but the gun stolen which means that 100 years of gun control starts breaking down.
If the plan is to have the military literally occupy the neighborhoods Bahgdad style see problems 1 and 2, added the hell that is the fact most of the soldiers will be seen as traitors and free game.
There is no way Starmer is retarded enough to deploy the army...
Right?
