In a nutshell no,the passivity of the general English populace would be greatest deterrent.
Though if Coronation St.,Eastenders,Emmerdale,X Factor,Celebrity Big Brother,Masterchef,were put on pay per view I may amend my views.
The goverment are trying to privatise the NHS by the backdoor,allowing multinationals to take the piss,in regards to paying the tax they owe,and spunking money on the Olympic games,whilst talking about cutting peoples take home pay according to their geographical location.
Yet still we have not a peep,apart from a few nasty letters to the Guardian.

Multinationals paid even less in tax under the last government, for fucks sake, at least get your facts right. At least this government is trying to close those loopholes, Labour didn't in over a decade whilst plundering pension funds.

Also, which government was it that bid for the Olympics??

Other than that, great points.

Who mentioned goverments?,the Labour party and Conservative/Liberal alliance,all take the passivity of the general populace as a given.
All revolutions are driven by the middle classes anyway,squeeze them till the pips come out and you might see action.Meanwhile on with the bread and circuses.
 
Think it was Stalin who said if the British started a revolution on the railways, we'd queue up to buy tickets for the platform.

It's very true, we dont have a revolutionary bone in our body. Look at the MP expenses scandal, the press inquiry and the bailout of the bankers. In any other country, that was cause mass protests. Nearest we get is someone calling an MP a wally on Question Time.

I kinda like it, look at France, always striking, always protesting and it gets them hardly anywhere.

One of the attractive things about Britain is its stability and understatement. Although sometimes you look back on the days of the fuel strikes with pride....because we made our feelings known.

enough is enough already, there's just too many people who are apathetic or have the "I'm alright Jack" mentality.

Everyone looks out for themselves these days.
