I have been wondering, over the last few years, what would happen if, for instance:
A large portion of the Leeds Bradford community were to knock off a local barracks and ammunition dump, take the military equipment they have gained and head out in a star shape taking over every barracks and ammunition dump they can in the next 12 hours.
Then they knock off every bank in their circle of influence.
They then declare an Islamic state and take all the population in their influence into custody, hold them hostage and start advancing in the directions of least resistance.
Within 48 hours the entire structure of the UK could be in total upheaval with millions of civilians held hostage, wealth confiscated and a military dug in and willing to sacrifice their lives to hold on to it at all costs.
What would we do next? How many more hundreds of thousands would flock to their banner?
Think it can't happen? It already has. Just ask the Syrians, Kurds, Iraqi's, Tunisians and Libyans....
This is not an idle daydream. It is a real threat. People who have gone to Syria and Iraq have been involved and even trained in exactly those situations. The IS has heavy weapons, tanks and armoured personnel carriers. Perfect for training an insurgency. Even better for IS, Britain is cut off from easy reinforcement by the EU unlike the open landmass of the rest of the EU.
We may not yet be at open war. But we come closer every year.
