Leading neuroscientists believe that the UK Government may be about to sanction the development of nerve agents for British police that would be banned in warfare under an international treaty on chemical weapons.
They concluded that the Government may be preparing to exploit a loophole in the Chemical Weapons Convention allowing the use of incapacitating chemical agents for domestic law enforcement.op source

They're only asking for civil unrest and outright warfare if they ever use nerve gas on it's own people.
Then again, they could just be testing their limits realizing how docile society has become. They could get away with murdering their own citizens and would be able to spin it with the MSM so that the majority of the populace supports it.

They would not have to spin it in my opinion, they could come right out and say on the mainstream news (that they are gassing teenagers in riots). There would be a divided opinion on it because of the way that society divides age groups.
During the last riots almost everyone I know over 30 years old was advocating (some even wanted to petition) for the army to stop the riots with live ammunition.
The majority of people are already suffering from chronic stupidity in the UK.
I reckon that a lot of people will read this article and say to themselves "finally, they are going to do something to stop this from happening again"
Horrifying.
