It would, in theory, require mobilisation of UK Armed Forces units, including special forces, not only to back up the police, but also to confront armed paramilitaries with lethal force. This would, of course, have significant political ramifications, both internally and internationally.

If MI5 and SO15 were aware of the operation being planned, then they clearly either chose not to inform Kent Police and withheld vital operational information needed for adequate policing.* OR If they were unaware, which indicates a massive intelligence failure, undermining UK national security.

Both of the above, plus the mass use of all-black clothing and face masking by between 200 and 500 (estimates vary) paramilitaries, clearly indicate the significant degree of premeditation and planning that went into this operation - likely over many weeks, if not several months.

A fifth heatwave. People at risk across the country. But the new Government is silent. Time to tax fossil fuel companies to fund firefighting helicopters. And to race to lower carbon energy and permanently cheaper bills.
Green leader Zack Polanski accuses government of 'gross negligence' over climate crisis
With parts of Britain set to experience their fifth heatwave of the summer this week, Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, has accused the government of not recognising the severity of the crisis.

In a statement, he said:

We are now facing the fifth heatwave in months following the recent deaths of 3,000 people in our country from extreme weather conditions.

This is the greatest crisis this country has faced since the second world war and to complacently dismiss the demands for immediate action by saying everything is under control is gross negligence, blatantly untrue and misses the severity of the crisis.

Only days after dedicated public servants talked about the need for urgent action, backed up by indisputable science, to secure our food supplies and the health of the most vulnerable, the Labour government says it’s all in hand, and supply chains are resilient.

At a press conference last week, Polanski said the government should be responding with emergency measures now.
