A Revolution

[pjholybloke]

I find Softus, challenging and as a result interesting.

No, I'm not.

You must be! But in the off-chance that you're not, it's really good to read something that is not abusive or defamatory.

Alas, you are mistaken. If I were Softus, holier-than-thou-bloke would be a more amusing username.

I guess we just ain't got it in us.

We might if driven hard enough?
though I believe consecutive governments have got the balance right in so much as there are no stirrings of any militancy especially in a violent way(apart from the hooliganism we see from day to day)but also any thoughts of peaceful discord are usually put to rest by buying off the masses with giveaways usually at the crux point of an election or if the balance looks a bit shaky as seen recently with the giveaway after the election no go.

might be worth a poll to see the forums take on this?

Could possibly be that the quintessentially 'British' trait of well-mannered **** taking out of other races/religions acts as a pressure release thus preventing the high social tensions needed for revolution.

Be interesting to see the future implications of the Whitehall PC brigade!

I tend to agree. We're fairly "easy" when it comes to keeping us quiet tax break here, extra hour in bed there doesn't take a lot.

As earlier posted I also think that we are governed more by "stealth" in recent years, but some recent legislation is quite threatening in terms of civil liberty. How do we react? What's on telly love?

I just don't think we've got the required genes, strangely enough though, we seem to be perfectly at home tramping all over other countries' governments.

Nowt as queer as folk.

the Poll tax riots got rid of Thatcher

the Miners Strike got rid of the miners

Back in 1917-ish, during the Russian revolution, King Edward wouldn't allow the Tsar to escape here, because he was afraid it would start a revolution in Britain.

See what I mean?! This is nothing but mindless censorship! Rise up! Rise up brothers - smash the fascist moderators!

Storm the admin nerve centre and throw down their symbols of power, united we stand...... oh, back in a mo - dinner's ready.
