Quote: Dead Man Walking "Does anyone think that the people in this country would ever take part in one like the French and Russian Revolutions or are they too laid back and not bothered enough ?'"
We were doing revolution before the French or the Russians ever considered it.
However, by the 1840s, when the rest of Europe was getting a bit unsettled, there was little major chance of it happening over here.
We will occasionally riot, though. And I suspect that we might find that the bedroom tax becomes Cameron's poll tax.
