Sweeping cuts across the board are painful & divisive but as long as people continue to get something they won't rise up in open rebellion/revolution peaceful or bloody because it puts them outside their comfort zone. Easy enough to see by the "Uprising" of the Anarchy/Anti capitalists/outraged students. a couple of days kicking off & slumming it to fight the Fascist pigs & their lackeys then back home for a shower & kyle, back to their state funded accommodation & their giro, or hand outs from Mummy & Daddy in comfortable suburbia who are plodding away in the City.
Nah ! We're to soft & we really don't know the meaning of true hardship & suffering so it's not going to happen.

Hardship, there is no real hardship in the good ole U.K, in comparison to these middle east places, i say that having seen first hand, as fer supporting any protest in the middle east, not a chance at this point in time, thing is no-one has any idea what they would be supporting? democracy? fundamentalists? whilst everyone knows the existing rule is crap, ya gotta know what will replace it.
