    Good luck with that, especially with the numbers currently serving in the armed forces. They couldn’t patrol Rutland let alone the UK

    It will absolutely happen.

    Boris won't announce it until it happens, to try and stop more panic buying.

    So that's what that tank transporter on the M62 this morning was doing, bringing out the strategic reserve ready for next week.

    He’s not insulting anybody. He’s saying that they don’t have the numbers to patrol the UK, not that they don’t have the ability

    I have so far completed 31 years in the forces and still serving, and was not criticising them, I was criticising the ability to patrol and manage the UK with limited numbers. Enjoy the wine!

    Explains why Co-Op this evening didn't have any type of bread, milk or eggs left. Very little cereal too. Tinned soups were down to the last few Carrott n Coriander or Lentil.

    You do realise this guy has 22 followers?

    I don't doubt that there may be some truth to the rumours but this has massive implications.

    I don't live with my 8 year old daughter or my other half so could potentially have to go for a long time without seeing either of them, for instance. I will certainly not be alone with this either.

    I guess the current situation has us all on edge. We went out today to get just a few bits and pieces... not to panic/overload shop. I was totally shocked at the state of the shelves and the attitude of some /many of the shoppers.
