Civil unrest is "simply" not the British way, the Home Secretary said yesterday as she hit back at police fears that spending cuts could lead to disorder.

She has forgotten the eighties. I remember lots of riots around the country.

General strike of 1926 or Yarrow. Well we could include the peasant revolt if you are going back that far, or the English civil war.

The 1980s was a Tory era too - so you would think that she’d know. Those who fail to study History are doomed to repeat it.
