We need the Army to stand in for the Window Dressers who are all self flagellating :-)

the Duggan riots - no
there were plans if things got out of hand hur hur hur
but there were known legal difficulties - it needed primary legislation and all the MPs were cowering in the shires or somewhere

cdnt be done with the stroke and flourish of a ministers pen = secondary legislation
