“The police are concerned, Corporal”, said Major Zaster. “There’s
a lot of anti-immigrant feeling in Badford at the moment. Shops have been
looted, houses set on fire, and people badly beaten. The police are spread too
thin to do anything about it. They’ve heard rumours that local gangs are
getting their hands on guns and intend to use them. I’m sending out patrols to police the
streets and protect the peace. The sight of you and your men should act to deter
the violence. Current rules of engagement apply – you’re to shoot only to
prevent loss of life. Oh, while you’re out there, check out the mosque; footage
from the police drone shows a truck delivering several dozen boxes. If they are weapons, confiscate them”.

Dave ’Nobby’ Mosley had grown up
on the streets of Badford in West Orkshire, and, since he was old enough to
remember, things had only got worse over time. Nobby’s Dad had worked in the
town steelworks, like his father before him. Unlike him, when they closed it
down, he’d never found work again. When Nobby left school, they were still no
jobs for him or his mates either, and no future. It only made it worse that
there appeared to be an endless stream of ‘f***ing foreigners’ moving to
Badford, taking the few local jobs at rates that were worse than the dole, and
living three or four families to a house. Nobby couldn’t even get work in the
portable toilet factory – ‘a real shit job’, as his mate said; Thommo reckoned
it was because it was owned by one of those ‘Hotaki c**ts’, and they didn’t
want ‘real Brexitians’ working there. They ‘ought to go back where they came
from’.
Thommo knew a lot of people who
felt the same way as Nobby – bitter and angry, and feeling in need of taking
action. The ‘Young Orkshire Brigade’ had started by beating up the occasional
‘Hotaki’, throwing rocks through shop windows, and setting fire to houses, but
this had led to a tit-for-tat escalation. Knives and baseball bats were now the
norm, and some of Nobby’s mates had been seriously hurt or killed. There also
seemed to be more of the ‘Hotakis’ than locals. So when Thommo said he knew a
man who could get them some guns, Nobby jumped at the chance (he’d been quite
good on the rifle ranges at the fairs he’d been to…). A couple of ex-Army guys
called Ron and Reg had driven up from somewhere down south with a truck full of
AK74’s, loads of ammo, and three RPGs; they’d even been taught how to use them.
(Better than that, Thommo said that it had all been paid for by a
‘well-wisher’). They decided to test their new strength by marching on the
mosque, and destroying it – ‘That would teach those Hotakis whose town it was
!’

Abdul al Maliki had not had an
easy life. Growing up in a small village in Malikastan, he had seen many of his
friends and family killed there in the ‘peace-keeping’ operation, and the
Hotaki invasion that followed. There had been a point where he – or, rather,
his mother – had wanted him to become a martyr (Malikastan Week 10 – Save the
Day), but God had spared him, and given him a chance to marry and start a
family. His wife’s father, Uncle Rafi, had advised him to get out of Malikastan
and go somewhere safer (his mother’s ‘life insurance policy’ on him hadn’t yet
paid out…), so he decided to go to the West. After all, from what he had seen
of their soldiers, if they could give away so many bullets and bombs, they must
be rich, and wouldn’t mind giving him some of their wealth. It would be better
than herding goats…
It took months to walk to the sea
– through several other war zones – and a long wait in a refugee camp. Finally,
someone took pity on him and his family, and put them on a plane. He ended up
in Badford, just in time to see Grande Brexitia disintegrate, and law and order
break down. However, for many like Abdul, this was ‘life as usual’, and they
knew that security only came from the barrel of a gun; the Brexitian Islamic
Front found many recruits from former refugees, keen to protect their families
and new lives from violent thugs. Abdul had fought the Americans, Brexitians
and the Hotakis, and was respected by his peers. When he heard that ‘infidels’
were on their way to destroy the mosque, and burn the holy books, he knew that
he had to prevent it. Calling his brothers to arms, he led them down the
street…

Hmm, Major Donald Zaster did not have a good record in Malikastan...it can only get worse in Badford, Grand Brexitia.
