I see absolutely no chance of there being any kind of organised middle class activism achieving anything in this country, of either kind being described. Sure, there may be the odd angry protest of handfuls but any kind of genuine state threatening, policy changing, protest is going to come from exactly the same groups of people that it always does. However, those groups may get more support from the middle classes than they have in recent times. but it will be mostly sideline support. nowt wrong with that, that would be great.

Mind you, protest does fuck all, it'll be riots and direct actions that will count from now on. The middle class have never signed up for that kind of thing. If they have jobs, and they have a roof over their heads, no matter how poor they may get, as long as they're better off than others they will not cause a fuss. Same for all classes in this country now really. As long as the state can keep a majority fed, clothed and housed and the vocal minority weak, vilified and unsupported then they can continue to hold power.

Edit : I'd love to be optimistic but just because there are bigger cunts than usual in power doesn't mean the laws of politics and society have changed.
