I doubt a revolution could happen. But the violence and occasional terrorist or racially motivated crimes are certainly worrying. And the language used by the police and politicians is hardly helpful.

@MartinII That's what I think is going to happen in America soon. There's so much talk of a civil war here, which won't actually happen, but there will be a lot of lunatics trying to start one.

One horrible incident and you think there's so much civil unrest?

@SW-User that's because there is, the riots in southport, the protest marches in london,etc are you even from this country?

@darkmere1983 Yes I am, and the marches in London are legitimate protests, despite the Tories desperately trying to ban any type of protest that didn't chime with their political views (i.e. denying climate change). Now we have a new goverment that won't criminalise the right to protest.

The riots were a disgrace. But this country is not falling apart, far from it.

@SW-User There clearly is incipient unrest and I think in general there is some justification for it, though we now know there was none in the Southport case.As to the Tories trying to ban protests, I'm afraid that's nonsense. They tolerated, and allowed the police to encourage, disruptive and in some cases hostile left-wing protests on every subject. Maybe the Labour government will take a harder line, though I doubt it.
