UK Plans For Martial Law If Brexit Deal With EU Fails
The British army has secret martial law plans to put troops on the streets to help with potential chaos if a Brexit deal with the EU fails to materialize, Dailymail.co.uk reported.
Plans also include services for Britain’s citizens such as the delivery and stockpiling of medicines to hospitals across the country, according to The Times.
Chief of Defense Staff General Nick Carter stated the army would “stand ready to help” in the event of a “No Deal.”
The original Brexit referendum was held on June 23rd, 2016 to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. The leave vote won by 51.9% to 48.1%, solidifying a deal to leave the European Union; but Britain’s leadership has been sluggish in carrying out the vote of its people.
Finally, UK Prime Minister Theresa May invoked Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, on 29 March 2017. This gives the two sides two years to agree to the terms of the split. The UK is scheduled to leave the EU at 11pm UK time on Friday, March 29th 2019, with or without a deal.
The two parties have since been trying to negotiate a deal to leave. Last Wednesday a draft Brexit withdrawal agreement with Brussels was approved and backed by May’s cabinet.
However, this is far from over as the deal still requires approval from MPs and, finally, the 27 other EU member states before anything is final.
An emergency EU summit is due to be held on November, 25th where EU leaders are expected to give their approval or disapproval for the deal.
May herself has said that if MPs don’t unite behind the agreement, “nobody can know for sure the consequences that will follow” and it would mean taking “a path of deep and grave uncertainty.”
