It's this endless nickel-and diming of people that eventually makes a seething population explode

"Seething" population? Insult the local football team and you might see some seething, but other than that, where's the "seething"?

where's the "seething"?
 

I should have expressed my thoughts more completely, sorry.  I think that a great many who are at the point of 'seething' are leaving Great Britain if they can, and those who can't are held in check by the famous stiff upper lip.  Much is written in the press and by bloggers about dissatisfaction pertaining to overtaxation in the UK, but it's true it hasn't gotten to the point of rioting in the streets......yet.  In retrospect, probably too strong of a word; my apologies.

It's there, when one reads the "comments" after news stories in the Daily Mail, the Southampton Daily Echo, etc.

And these are the ones that get published. Imagine how people really feel.

A friendly reminder:

1: Dress up as..ohhhh..Travellers, or something.

2: Board a merchant ship.

3: Dump tea into the harbour.

It works. You need guns, though.
