In the first of a brand new series written by James Patrick and Guy Dorrell, Hold The Line introduces Situation, Mission, Execution training and guidance to help listeners become more prepared and resilient for whatever comes next.

In this episode of The Fall, James and Guy discuss electricity and fuel supply disruption, setting out a number of ways in which you can minimise your exposure to vulnerabilities and achieve a basic level of preparedness for a situation in which the lights go out and the petrol stations run dry.

For the first time, listeners have been able to ask questions covering all areas of preparedness for a no deal Brexit and beyond, from finances, to growing your own, to Tommy Robinson...

In this episode of The Fall, James and Guy discuss the digitalisation of the world and its impact on us in terms of hostile actor and state surveillance and the vulnerabilities our online presence and personal data sharing opens us up to. 

As well as discussing the implications of digital life in respect of Brexit, The Fall also explores a worst case scenario Critical Infrastructure Cyber Attack written by James at the start of 2018, which is timely given a very recent warning from the UK's NCSC.

The landscape of Brexit has continued to become clearer since The Fall's first episode went out and the probability of no deal being the final outcome is now seen as 75% upwards - even within the more cautious predictions of the markets. The reality, assessing on risk beyond financial considerations is that the probability of a no deal exit lies between 90 and 95%. 

The key to understanding our direction of travel is in plain sight, yet a number of often dangerous myths and misconceptions remain pervasive. As no deal inches ever closer, it's essential we talk about the very basic things people need: food and water...

In this first episode, James and Guy bring listeners up to date on the state of Britain's Brexit negotiations through the lens of potential no deal outcome, and explore the likely impact of such a scenario in the early days of post-Brexit Britain, from supply to chain to military deployments.
