We need look no further than Iraq to understand that people will kill based on religion (another way to write "politics").
We can see in African countries like Haiti killings on a mass scale and indeed years ago in South Africa where people were not only killed, but extremely violently (necklace), even a post in this forum showed a problem in Brazil with over 9000 people 'missing' over two years, many killed by off duty policemen or drug lords.
I really don't think that the US nor the UK would be any different if the situation becomes the same as in any of the scenarios I've just mentioned.
As George Green once said, "One day without food, people will steal for it. Two days without food people will kill for it."
We need not look too far to remember the looting in new Orleans after the hurricane to see how quickly law and order can be lost. Imagine that now on a national scale. What other simple answer is there?
Best regards,
Steve

This is a bit fatalistic, I disagree that when it comes to it, we will turn on each other, I think as the truth is revealed those in positions of (alleged power) will defend their own. We tend to become more galvanised here in the uk.
