A former SAS Officer has today sensationally revealed how London bankers are training for possible war and civil unrest.

“Martin” – not his real name – told Untrue Lies about a recent contract he had undertaken on behalf of some “large financial insitutions” and supplied the photograph, below, of them marching in military fashion.

Faced with mounting public opposition to national impoverishment because of the bankers manipulations, and possible revolt at so called austerity measures, the banks are fighting back. “Martin” has been training them in a number of areas, including “military tactics, formations, and maneuvers, firearms, survival, and urban survival in hostile areas”

“They’ve been getting fast tracked firearms permits from the police” Martin told us, “they all know the shit is going to hit the fan soon. I’ve been in the SAS, I served in Northern Ireland and the first Gulf War, and these guys are fucking scared, they know things are about to explode”

“When that day comes, their bosses are making sure that they’ve got an army ready to roll. These guys are fanatical, they’ll do whatever it takes to protect the bottom line”.

“And, if the day doesn’t come, they’re looking at using their military training to help enforce debts owed them by the public. The defaulter on loans is to be considered a war criminal. Your £12.50 overdraft could see you stood against a wall and shot”.

Sources close to the police have indeed verified that a number of large London finance houses have been placed on a fast track firearms certificate program so that employees they refer can legally own guns more quickly, and that the government has reclassified banks as a wing of the armed forces, meaning that bankers can legally possess automatic weapons, tanks, and rocket launchers.
