TBH a police strike would be a absolute fucking nightmare for this country rather than anyones “dream…”
as others have mentioned the military would be deployed.
Instead of a bored, disaffected bobby (who might be more likely to turn a blind eye to certain stuff), you would get 20-30 something soldiers, who would be overworked, shellshocked and psychotic due to what many would have already experienced in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Plus Middle Englanders may well decided to form their own “Dads Army” style “militia” to protect their property, out of blind panic.
Add to this mixture all the pissheads, crackheads, the gangs and warring ethnic groups of todays Britain. Consider how angry a lot of “normal” men are these days, and how easy it is to make improvised weapons of all sorts using info found on-line, and how many might want to take advantage of a perceived state of lawlessness to settle scores.
this could descend into a nasty situation where people on all sides would actually end up getting hurt and killed (more than what already happens in todays streets!) as a worst-case it would result in bad feelings and feuds that could last generations, long after things “returned to normal”.
