Is it just me or can any one else 'sense' a revolution, coupe or even a civil uprising/ war brewing?

Just been speaking to one of my colleagues and he agrees that something is definately bubbling away and it wont be long till everyone says enough is enough and takes things into their own hands.

What do you guys and gals think?

This is the problem though!!!

It frustrates me that nobody will stand up and force change, they will sit in their cosy homes watching the country go down the toilet expecting "somebody else" to do something!

Would never happen, most people are too lazy. As long as eastenders and big brother are on the tele they are happy.

History has a habit of letting large scale wars sort out this financial problems. Protectionism is only the start.

The Germans are already almost up in arms about foreign works and bailing out other euro countries.

I'm not so sure. Thing is, if you've got a job you're laughing. We've never had it so good.

There will never be a revolution while TV-soaps continue to be aired.

Indeed I would be one of the first to stand up, but there is always the problem that I am just a small fish in a big sea and it takes more than one man to make a diference........

Who are you looking to specifically to do this then? Unions? Far right? The Queen? The Army? none of those choices are particularly appealing!

That is my point exactly!

But can you honestly say that you are happy with the current situation?
