If it's a long hot summer, it's going to get messy. A country simmering and now we have the spark. All the ingredients for a explosion are in place. The peasants will revolt.

When I was a lad, we used to sing about wanting to riot, not predicting one. Millennials - they're all so much more passive than we were. Must be the Ritalin.

@king of Sussex. 2011 not the radish riots of 1848 that you were in.

Some of us took the opportunity to move forward and improve our lives. Others grew chips on their shoulder, and are still moaning today.

And opened the economy up to the excesses of the City and the bankers, for which almost a decade on we are still paying. One of the problems with this country is smug and ignorant people like Englishman who can't see further than the end of their nose.

79 was when Thatcher,pretending to be a patriot, sold out the British people to Chicago School shekel merchants.
If you seek her monument, look at the state of modern Britain.

Sojourner, is that why everyone want to come here ?

They don't, Adele. For instance a 96% drop in nurses applying to work here because they fear they won't be welcomed by the bigots. Shame. Let's hope you don't get ill.

You don't think a more stringent English language test being imposed may have had something to do with that drop? The 'Nursing Times' said in April: 'Hundreds of international nurses are unable to take up job offers in the NHS, which is stalling overseas recruitment, because the level to which their English language is being tested is too high, a new report has warned.' The thing about Hard Remainers is that they are very cavalier with the facts.
