doormats to the government?

Question

why do british people let the government walk all over them, we just seem to do nothing everytime they raise taxes, fuel prices and every other price they decide to hike up each year. why has there never been a national protest?

Answer 1

Because whoever tries to organise it would probably be charged with one of Tony's many laws, and as Trucker said the unions used to do it.

Glasgow in the 30's had a mass protest and the government ordered in the army.

I remember someone told me years ago that the Roman Electricity Company put up its rates, the whole of Rome refused to pay the bill, The company brought down it's prices.

Look at the French they love a protest.

Britain is too divided culturally to come together to protest.
