Is there going to be any protests or civil unrests if Boris does not resign?

Cost of living going up.

Lied about parties

Energy prices rising and doing nothing except giving you a loan.

Failure to do more for Ukraine refugees.

More food banks than ever.

I can't see civil unrest but the local elections maybe too damming for there to be no change.

A civil war has been on the horizon for a long time as the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger by the day. I have no idea why people are so keen to for Boris to resign, it's not a person problem it's a party problem. Even if he goes he will be replaced by someone cut from exactly the same cloth.. pointless.

Doubtful. The opposition aren’t exactly a great choice either. They’re just sitting back and watching the Tories ruin it for themselves. But there is no real fire or passion in their politics.

I can see civil unrest along the lines of the poll tax riots if something drastic is not done to mitigate the upcoming winter of discontent.

If there was a genuinely strong alternative to Boris I could see disorder then. But at the minute we are a bit stuck for options so apathy will prevail.

It's because we arent French. Oh and our revolution was "peaceful". Which meant that all that changed was the monarch while maintaining the status quo of the haves and have nots.

The vast majority of people are anti protest and just get angry at protesters disrupting their day so civil unrest would likely have the opposite effect to what the protesters are trying to achieve.

What Boris and other in the party at the party did was wrong. He deserves to be fined and pay a larger fine than Joe Public.

But I am sure there were gatherings/meetings/parties within the Labour party over the same time span which have never been investigated for whatever reason.

Also I am sure these parties at Downing Street would not have gone ahead if the police at the gates and/or the doors had done their job properly. Surely they allowed the people into the building.

Why does it need to get to the point of kids dying? People have been increasingly struggling to feed their kids for years. Schools are full of malnourished children that teachers are having to feed. People just say "you shouldn't have had them if you can't afford them" or "it's not my job to pay to feed other people's kids".

Possibly. But I can think of protests in my (short) lifetime that comes from communities that are in danger and dying. Again the response wasn’t all that warm.

Also I think generally as a country we are not necessarily opposed to this government’s policies or of the steps that they’ve taken to get us here.

Of course protest that endangers others can be a problem. Protest is in nature disruptive. Peaceful or not peaceful. But I think most protests that go on in this country when they do go on are safe and at the least always intend to be safe.

I think we’re actually long overdue an ongoing protest that doesn’t stop until the system of power has changed.

Sadly though, we’ve become too individualised as a nation for this to happen any time soon.

The reason we’ve become apathetic and a nation of individuals goes back to Margret Thatcher. Two things she implemented back in the 70’s and 80’s were designed to break us down, therefore weakening any threat to the system of corrupt power.

These were the dismantling of unions and allowing/encouraging individuals to buy their own home.

Once someone has a mortgage then they’re unlikely to risk losing their family home, therefore will largely accept whatever hardships come their way. That, coupled with the demise of unions, was the ultimate ‘divide and conquer’ technique to strip us of the one power we all have, which is collective unity.

If anyone thinks I should begin the righteous match then feel free to message me and I’ll put the wheels in motion. Haha.

Stay strong and never forget that the biggest movements begin with individuals banding together.

You actually think people want to a start a war - and presumably kill each other (war being defined as “armed conflict”) - because of a wealth/tax gap between a small percentage of elite earners and the poorest in the country?

I see civil unrest everywhere - people are deeply unhappy and frustrated and tend to take it out on others. But I don’t see a civil war happening.

“Why did you start killing people who didn’t vote for the same the same as you?”

“Because they pay less tax than I think they should and I Siri agree with their politics”.

Would make a good film.

"Is there going to be any protests or civil unrests if Boris does not resign?

Cost of living going up.

Lied about parties

Energy prices rising and doing nothing except giving you a loan.

Failure to do more for Ukraine refugees.

More food banks than ever.

Heat or Eat.

Some of those things "he" has no control for or of. Just cheap shots blaming someone for everything that's not satisfactory. Some the govt does squarely own. I'm not an advocate of civil unrest, certainly not for a few cheese and glasses of wine. But I do think he needs to go and there needs to be a unity govt. Neither political party seem to have any values beyond what's in today's twitter headline ratings. But between the both of them they should be able to scrape up enough competent politicians. The current lot have had some huge issues to deal with and at almost every turn come up short. Hating people isn't the answer though. Seeing some engagement and passion back in the political process can only be a good thing though.

Quick thoughts.

Cost of living going up = Fuel and the effect of covid that reduced production. Wait till October, farmers planted far less food this year and the Oct harvest will be well down resulting in high prices.

Lied about parties = HA! ALL politicians lie. Time to get used to it.

Energy prices rising and doing nothing except giving you a loan = They are going up world wide and are likely to do so for a while. Governments don't have their own money, they have our money.

Failure to do more for Ukraine refugees = The Cons got Brexit on the back of restricting immigration. What else do you expect?

More food banks than ever = Private people doing good. No doubt the Cons are looking for ways to tax them.

Heat or Eat = For many that has been a way of life for a long while. We should support the most needy.

Very unlikely. There’s no reason for him to do that. Not only is bombing a nation pointless without the intention of invading, invading Finland would be a disaster for putin much like it was in WW2

Finland has the biggest artillery array in Europe for a reason. The terrain of the country makes it almost impenetrable by ground forces

Don't you think the Russians "warning" to Sweden and Finland about joining NATO is a concern? Given Ukraine's desires to join NATO is one of the main reasons they invaded Ukraine? This has only just started and with India and China providing support not sure how sanctions are going to stop it.

It's deeply ingrained in the UK mindset - particularly the English - to doff their cap to their superiors. The well-off are seen as deserving of everything, including money and being in charge. Few have backbone and are willing to break the mold and the system is designed to ensure that they have to be loaded down, in just trying to survive.

I think there will be revolt but it's not soon. The likes of the Arab Spring will be long coming English winter snooze. The other nation states have more fire and passion within them.

The Prime Minister has lied to the Queen, acted illegally in both personal and professional conduct, and now is I believe the first prime minister to be found guilty of a criminal offence while in office.

The rule of law, a British innovation, is vital to a society remaining functional.

It is but an inconvenience to the current Conservative party.

Democracy in this country will die hearing "poor Boris" and "but Labour are bad too!"

This is the underlying problem; we have no truly decent options to choose from. We’re stuck in an essentially two party system (none of our other parties are ever getting into power in their own right), just like the US is and suffer from the “I’m Red/Blue” partisan ideologies that just drives us away from looking objectively at the problems we face.

Attending the parties. I've seen several references (alas my quick scrolling habits) saying that this has never happened before in British history.

Given the potential follow up police had for lockdown offences, they attracted criminal procedure - which, by strict definition, makes them crimes.

But people seem to be ok with this.

Cuz that's totes better even if it's true

A government that does not respect that the law applies to them too - and is willing to display that so brazenly over something so trivial as fucking Christmas parties - is dangerous.

I don’t think it is personally. Don’t wanna get too off topic. But I think putin wanted in Ukraine anyways. He won’t touch Finland or Sweden. And he 100% won’t open up a new front line with a country that would dominate any attempt at an invasion

D’ya not think that had more to do with the fact that the French are just about to go to the polls?

"Putin is going to start bombing Finland soon. Boris and his parties are pretty irrelevant.

Very unlikely. There’s no reason for him to do that. Not only is bombing a nation pointless without the intention of invading, invading Finland would be a disaster for putin much like it was in WW2

Finland has the biggest artillery array in Europe for a reason. The terrain of the country makes it almost impenetrable by ground forces

His unhinged wank fantasy pretending to be history seems to indicate that he wants the Russian empire back. That'd certainly include Finland

And he’ll leave it as a fantasy knowing he can’t do to Finland what he’s trying to do to Ukraine

You’d have to be stupid to open another front line with Finland "

I'm not sure he'll back down that easily, the realities of his situation be damned. But we will see.

The rule of law, a British innovation, is vital to a society remaining functional.

It is but an inconvenience to the current Conservative party.

Democracy in this country will die hearing "poor Boris" and "but Labour are bad too!"

I thought the British people had standards, values. I was wrong.

What is the criminal offence? attending a party he himself made an illegal act hence the fines

Isn't that a civil rather than a criminal matter.?

Cuz that's totes better even if it's true

A government that does not respect that the law applies to them too - and is willing to display that so brazenly over something so trivial as fucking Christmas parties - is dangerous."

Absoutely this, plus the baying MPs from his side who made a fuss about others breaking rules and demanding resignations who now don't like it applies to them, is quite ironic and it'd be laughable if this was funny. Even the Queen stuck to the rules when burying her husband! I'm no royalist, but credit where it's due! He has to go and so do all the others who have been fined.

Which, of course, is down to the British choosing to sell it.

We could put a tax on profits* quite easily, and redistribute it as relief for high fuel prices. But the government chooses not to.

* Over a certain amount. So they can suffer being stinking rich rather than filthy stinking rich and maybe British kids can both eat and be warm this winter.

No, look back at the previous actions with the yellow vests, it wasn't an election then and they managed some concessions. Look at Ukraine in 2014 i think it was, the people died at the hands of their own Police and government orders, to protest their right to get rid of the PM and it worked! they didn't give up at all despite knowing they could pay with their lives.

judging by past events then the first heatwave of the summer will be the most likely trigger for civil unrest in urban environments, especially after the local elections in may which will give an indication of the mood of the country. if the conservative and unionist party take a kicking at the polls and there is no dramatic change to their 'we will do what we fucking well want' attitude as a party then the liklyhood of inner city unrest will increase.

Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/2839

You know, the Bill that aims to make noisy or disruptive protest illegal! The Bill that will give Police the power to stop, search and arrest someone carrying anything that may allow them to cause disruption, such as a bicycle chain and padlock.

You gotta wonder why this Government really thinks these powers are necessary?

There won't be any civil unrest until normal people literally cannot obtain any food at all, and/or cannot provide for their basic needs. If no shops had food, then there would be mass unrest, but that's not going to happen.

it's not generally working families that engage in rioting to be fair. and as for laws, since when have laws or police prevented rioting from happening. the usual flashpoints of idle youths drinking cans of super strength booze in 28 degree heat day after day combined with an ill judged action by the police is a more usual trigger in the past.

I think strong dissent makes for robust democracy.

"Love it or leave" attitudes are what erodes democracy.

If this protest law gets through, the penalty for protest will be harsher in the UK than in Russia.

But I'm sure that a political party engaged in corruption, ignoring foreign interference, not accepting accountability for crimes, and banning free expression would never happen here. Or if it did, it'd be red white and blue sovereign freedom loving so it doesn't count

They might argue they are as the disruption is exactly the intent to get the issue noticed. I personally think that if their actions are causing danger to life (ie an ambulance cannot refuel) then that is indeed a step too far. Inconveniencing people not so!

I marched against Blair & Bush’s illegal war in Iraq. Around a million of us marched along Piccadilly and into Hyde Park. Lots and lots of noise and disruption. If the Police etc Bill gets through, we would now be criminalised! For marching, blocking traffic, waving banners and shouting.

Ah interpretation is a wonderful thing. The factsheet tries to paint such a benign image but the key element in all of it is that decisions about noise or disruption are at the discretion of the senior attending police officer. Just watch that interpretation get warped and distorted depending on interpretation and circumstances.

And that's part of the issue isn't it? I don't think many people understand what democracy is in this country, participating in it, and respecting its outcomes. 14m people voted Conservative at the last election out of a population of something like 65m. That's about 22 percent.

Only 47 percent of 18 to 24 year olds actually voted at all. I admire the direct action that the French take every year. We need people to be engaged and passionate about our/their politics in this country. The more invested we all are the better the outcome. We also need better quality politicians, with conviction and values.

No I get that, and it's why I specifically said population. As I think "democracy" whatever and however we choose to define that, is something for the entire population and not just a subset of the population. But even taking the registered voters as you state... 47m... Then it's a far stretch to say that the 14m (about 30%) who voted Conservative make up a majority of that 47m...

And further, I can't imagine very many of that 30 %, who voted that way in 2019 are very impressed with the way things are going.

They should be able to "feedback" and if that takes the form of effective protests then so be it.

Sadly those protesting are just totally selfish anf do not care about anyone but themselves. I agree entirely with your sentiments . Maybe the rubber bullets should be replaced with real bullets . It would be interesting to see how many of them would be so keen to glue themselves to the railings then or how many members of the public would be in the slightest bit bothered if the police used any degree of force necessary to bring the situation under control . Imagine what would happen to them if they were to behave in a similar fashion in Russia .

I think people who are prepared to protest are valuable to the democratic process. Its really important that people are prepared to hold those in charge to account. Take for example the sacking of 800 ferry workers and replacing them with under paid under trained non UK jobs? Is that in anyone's interests? "
In this case the Ferry Operator made a commercial decision over which the government should have no control. With an average redundancy payment of £45000 part of which is tax free I do not see too many P +0 employees complaining . The workers got a good payoff so in this case there is nothing to protest about

Agreed. When people die in traffic queues and ambulant services can't reach a scene. When the Police can't reach the scene of a crime, when nurses and doctors can't attend their appointments and surgeries and hospitals . . . that's getting on with life and in these circumstances sometimes it means people not getting the urgent care they or dying.

When the Police can't reach the scene of a crime, when nurses and doctors can't attend their appointments or surgeries and hospitals . . . that's 'getting on with life' and in these circumstances sometimes it means people not getting the urgent care they or worse it may mean them dying.

The ferry operator was legally obliged to inform the government and should have go through the union to discuss redundancies because of the amount of workforce that was being made redundant.

But they decided to skip that part hoping that they could just pay everyone off and restart operations within days.

Broke the employment law

"It is amazing how people not only celebrate the restrictions on protesting against the state, but actually get angry at people who don't like it.

The right to protest is an essential part of democracy.

But the right to stop others from getting on with life is not

What is ‘getting on with life’ ?

Also I’m self employed and my job is driving, so if by their actions the fuel stops and I cannot get fuel then I can’t work so will not earn a living.

No earning means not being able to pay bills buy food feed family ect.

. Probably because it is a perfect illustration of what would happen to them in other countries. It would be interesting to see if they would be brave enough to go to Russia and protest.

Protesters inconvenience everyone , waste money and people could even die if an ambulance cannot get to them on time. Petrol queues are damaging to the economy.
