Only madmen like violence, but were are likely to be forced into the use of violence by the state. As this depression moves to slump, as it certainly will, the powers at the disposal of Brown's capitalist government will be used to keep "public order", which of course is code for suppression of protest.

Many months ago, I suggested that this "little financial hiccup" could lead to the biggest social upheaval in our lifetime....I was of course laughed off the boards.
Now we see the start of what is likely to happen as the middle class lose their priviliged position....pension rights ...property values....comfortable salaries, and start to taste what the underclass has been dining on for the last few decades. All the ingrediants are there for an unwinnable war against a powerful and very ruthless system.



We could sit back and allow the formation of a police state, and on to Facism, as they did in Germany, or we could fight and die.
I just wonder how many of the freedom loving liberals would elect to fight....very few I think, pragmatists to a man!

Whatever happens,our real liberty is sure to be severely curtailed in the supreme effort to get Capitalism back on the rails.

Forget the crooks with their few measely millions and keep your eyes on the politicians......They can do much more damage to your health....
