Pointless

These big corporations just do whatever they can to improve profits. Which is fine, as thats what they are all about. Just a shame that us poor fools the employees are the ones shafted. My own company is slowly getting rid of us expensive people in the UK that have expensive car allowances, high salaries and share plans, and replacing us with people from Poland, China and India.
What happens to trigger revolutions is the middle classes being pissed off. Crap on the ignorant masses and no-ones gives a hoot. Close down steelmaking and mining in Britain and no-one notices. Start putting educated people on the dole and there will be a pool of leaders that are unhappy. This happened in France at the end of the eighteenth century, and in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century.
We've never had a revolution in Britain because the middle classes and educated classes have never been the ones to suffer economic hardship, yet.
