    Brits should prepare a 72 hour 'survival kit' as Putin plots to
    sabotage gas pipelines and cause mass blackouts, warn spies

    . . .

    Ummmmmmm ... SERIOUS DOUBTS.

    As the UK teeters on the razor edge of
    social and financial implosion, the old
    old tactic of inventing a looming enemy
    seems to be the goal here. Theoretically
    promotes 'unity' and lets the govt get away
    with all sorts of 'emergency' measures.

    Machiavelli recommended this.

    So does Orwell.

    Machiavelli did first.

    DO read his stuff - and it's far more
    than just 'Prince' ........ the guy
    REALLY knew his politics.

    And basically NOTHING has changed since.
