And this time it didn't take a little girl, an annoying dog, and a bucket of water!
High taxes, an out of touch and self interested government, social unrest, and a wicked police force.
This is Your guide to broken Britain.
People, places, and things declared terrorists:

Donate to the Ian Tomlinson family campaign, an innocent man killed by unprovoked police brutality. The killing was subsequently covered up by the Independent Police Coverup Commission. The IPCC seems to be little more than a whitewash organization.
RIOT!!!
On 4 August 2011 UK police shot and killed Mark Duggan. With the police killings of Jean Charles de Menezes, and Ian Tomlinson still fresh in people's memory this triggered a peaceful protest that was ignored until it escalated into violent protest, riots, and looting.. The cleanup cost is currently estimated at 200 million GBP, and thanks to the 1886 Riot Damages Act the police are going to have to pay for it. Perhaps they will have to cut the number of officers who use anti-terror laws to stop and search innocent black men over and over again.
