i doubt it very much. london hasn't seen burning cars since brixton...

In 1990 at the Trafalgar Square Poll Tax Riots, I personally saw several cars burnt out - memorably a Porsche 911 near the SA Embassy, which was also torched.

Brixton was not the last time, and it will certainly happen again.

The problem is, as a Nation, we let this resentment fester away until it boils over into violence, which is usually counterproductive in one way or another.

The UK has a long, if not frequent, tradition of Civil Disobedience and Rioting - from the Peasants revolt in 1381, and I' sure from before that even.
