Subject: [kj] OT : 1981 revisited

Ever since the 'sham' ConDem coalition took over the reigns, I've had this
feeling that next summer there will be a huge reaction to the austerity
measures announced in the UK. Though we don't seem to protest quite like the
French, once the first fire is lit many factions seem to
join in & I couldn't help thinking of the 1981 riots as the full impact of
Thatcher's cuts hit a disaffected and hopeless generation. Any parallels ???

So firstly, as Mozza once sang, these things take time (the full impact of
cuts and tax changes won't be felt until next year) but also people get
distracted - of course this summer we had the World Cup and in 2012 the
Olympic Games are held in London.

Oh my gawd, now it appears there will be a royal wedding. The real heir to
the throne (Wills) is getting married (at least according to a tabloid
leak). Ring any bells ? The writing is on the wall.
