The closest Britain came to revolution in the 1800s was probably in the 1840s, when the Chartists gained popular support. There were several minor riots and the rise of national feelings when other countries had their own revolutions, ie France,Germany, Italy and Brazil in 1848, but the introduction of The Poor Law in 1832 and the repeal of the unpopular corn Law in 1846 meant that Britain escaped the threat of a revolution. Ireland was another matter, they had a series of disasterous potato famines which led to riots that were ruthlessly supressed.

If you mean in the period 1800-1810, not very. This was the time of the Napoleonic Wars and the country was 'pulling together'. During the whole 19th century, possibly during the time of the Chartists in the 1840s. Th state, however, never lost control of the armed forces nor was there a nationwide revolutionary force outside state control.
