Plans for martial law, curfews & confiscation of property. 10,000 more prisoners & new, draconian police powers. No reassurance on food, drugs or isotopes & Brexit described as ‘do or die’.
They’re not expecting this to end well, are they?
Why not help stop this & avert chaos? pic.twitter.com/hXJOIdoqVw
