“Are you Britons ready for a revolution yet?”

The British are subjects, not citizens. They don’t have revolution in their blood.

Dear oh dear.

Firstly, the British ARE citizens, and have been since 1981 and the Nationality Act. In fact, really since the Nationality Act of 1948.

Secondly, if you think the British dont have revolution in their blood, you are so sadly ignorant of British history.

The Magna Carta of 1215, the English peasant uprising of Wat Tyler in 1381, the Scottish Wars of Independence (1296-1328), the English Civil War and Oliver Cromwell, the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the political revolutions of 19th C Britain such as the Chartists......

The ‘Brits’ were doing revolution and even republicanism long before America existed.
