The military could move into Britain's jails if prison officers take industrial action, the BBC has learned.
Soldiers and RAF personnel are being trained in control and restraint techniques as part of a government contingency plan to deal with a crisis behind bars.
Another string to your bow then chaps.

Not exactly pc so look away now...
Gutted I missed the trawl. CS gas, big sticks, luvverly jubberly. Give the prisoners more to worry about than their reprehensible attempt to hold UKPLC to ransom over the vote. 
But how many prisons have 5-star hotels nearby for the RAF personnel to live in for their 22-hours a day rest time?
Presumably the RN has been excluded from this task lest they refused to go back to sea after experiencing the luxury of a modern prison...

Just think, in prison, you might meet some of the bastards that got us in this mess in the first place . . . I think they were called MPs (not snowdrops, the other sort).

I note from a Royal Navy website that the restoration of HMS Victory "started in 1922 and continues today".
Eighty eight years of restoration and she still isn't ready for sea!!!

I seem to remember emptying a prison ship moored in Belfast harbour only for it to be turned into a floating Barracks. Deja Vu
