The lockdown protests kind or proved to me that while english people are getting angrier overall, they seem to be getting progressively dumber about how they lash out.

I could foresee riots again like the 2010 ones but I doubt it'd do to much change other than lead to some imprisoned people and property damage.

So, unlike, say, the poll tax riots i doubt itll lead to any meaningful British/English political changes.

It may add fuel to Northern Ireland joining Ireland/Scottish independence though.
