The United Kingdom Is On The Brink of a Civil War

And disintegration…

The Daily Mail, Britain’s biggest purveyor of trash

Riots aren’t new to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Britain has had more than its fair share of protest and resistance movements with trade unions and suffragettes bringing the country to its knees in the early part of the 20th century.

For reference purposes, I will urge anyone who is interested to read the General Strike of 1926 and its extraordinary impact on public life.

Cecil Rhodes, the arch imperialist, who made a vast fortune from stealing from a number of African tribes in the Southern region of the continent once said that imperialism was necessary to avert civil war from erupting among the forty million inhabitants of the United Kingdom.

The rich tradition of protests carried on through the latter stages of the last century with inner cities across the country going head to head with the political leadership of the day and their concerted efforts to dispossess the poorest in society.

But so much has changed since the 1980s.

Every Prime minister since Margaret Thatcher has sought to continue where Britain’s first woman Prime Minister has left off, with the privatization of telecommunications, railways, mail service and the national health service.
