Does anyone think we might be close to a revolution?

Read a proper history book, why?

because then you might realise how often we in Britain revolt. Even in the general strike of the 1920's it didnt go that far. in more recent times, after the Iraq march, everyone went back to work on Monday. we dont even riot for ideology anymore, the summer saw kids more concerned with nicking trainers and phones than a fermenting a popular uprising.

The 1920's was over 90 years ago. Times have changed and times are a changing. keep up and you must just see the revolution.
 




Using Bozza's link to amazon of course, the V is for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask is now Amazon's best selling mask...

Revolution anyone!?

The whole mask fiasco reminds me of when we 'stuck it to the man' by making Rage Against the Machine Xmas number 1 ahead of X factor. That'll be RATM who are signed to Sony, as preferred to the X Factor winner who was signed to an imprint run by Simon Cowell that was owned by... Sony.

In answer to the OP, no, no I don't. And are you really trying to dispute that Anonymous (who are now little more than a laughing stock) were ever anything other than a bunch of geeks?

You say you want a revolution,well, you know we all want to change the world.You tell me that it's evolution well, but when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out.Don't you know it's gonna be all right

That has the makings of a good song. I would copyright that if I were you.

I think there eventually be a quiet, middle class revolution, where all the people that work and pay tax will say enough is enough regarding the spongers and the scroungers of the underclass.

It could end up with people being made to do some kind of community work for their benefit, or perhaps even some benefits paid out in food vouchers that cant be swapped for fags or alcohol.

Somethings got to change because we are in danger of becoming a scum nation.

It used to be that the target country for immigrants was the US, " I want to go to a country where the poorest citizens are fat".

Now its the UK "I want to go a country where the poorest citizens have designer trainers, smart phones and sky tv".

too much of a police state for any rev in uk. all people are easily tracked, and cctv everywhere, media will convert middle class to oppose any rev.

uk is game over, poverty drones working for gm foods and loving life coz their tracked iphones have a bubble wrap app, and xfactor is on after the "footy."

you're quite right, and thats the point: the standards of living and well being of the British people are a light year away from then. if they didnt revolt in the 20's or 30's, why now? too many people realise their bread is quite well buttered, even if they would like some jam too.

And now it's also 'why are they complaining. look they have cloths, a form of comunication and a TV, why the f*** do they want freedom?'

because 1000,000 years ago we used to be apes. We are different people to the ones nearly a century ago.

Given how many had died in the first world war, a revolt in the '20's was probably not on anyone's agenda, but there was plenty of civil unrest and strike action through the '20's and 30's as the working class sort more parity with the ruling class.

so how did the government deal with it? Answer: A world war.
