Yes It is inevitable. I have been saying for the last few months that violent revolts shall happen when the sheeple wake up to the face the news that things are not okay. This is not a recession but a full blow depression and it is world wide.
We have threads here on ATS about the protests in other countries over this already and a few have become very violent. I believe one had the death of 40 persons attached to it.
Only a matter of time before it happens in the UK, US and other strong world countries. Large protests are planned in the US during March 13th to 16th, we shall see how many meet violent resistance from the police and other fascist law pouting institutions.

Of course it's inevitable.
Democracy is, was, and always will be untenable. Hamilton and Adams understood this two centuries ago. They assumed the great crisis would come sooner rather than later, but ever since Jefferson launched us on the disastrous damned course of "democracy" in 1800 (Washington and Adams were both pseudo-Royalists) the breakdown of society has been inevitable.
The New Deal was the greatest setback for the United States. FDR should have let the whole mess go under and allowed the empire to come to surface, but instead he tried to force the toothpaste back in the tube and ever since then people who deserve better (those of us from good families with good backgrounds who are the natural aristocrats) have had to endure a little longer wait.
But in the next 18 months or so the whole facade will be ripped apart and the fertile will be separated from the barren and things will be put where they belong. For those of us who are awake, this is good news indeed.

This is about FASCISM not democracy. True proportional grass roots democracy is witnessed on this planet as the advanced civilized system there is. In doubt? Look at Norway, Sweden and Finland. These people are already almost ascended!!!!
What you should be saying is, people allowing themselves to be ruled by a renegade bloodline and depolated at their whims has never worked for them in the past, and must be stopped by the masses, overturned by the masses, with better, more grass roots, proportional democracies emerging everywhere, so women and the female energy begins to equalize things for everyone on this planet.

Sorry, but when has UK ever shipped grain to the US?
We supply a most of the grain for the world. We have not had a bad growing year.
The only thing that might be short this year, maybe, are the fruits and nuts out of CA.

I have a hard time believing this, since the US is the world's largest EXPORTER of grain and currently has more grain stockpiled than the entire European Union.
Grain prices have almost doubled since 2003, but they've been steadily falling since last year. I don't see some spike that would represent a shortage.
The closest I can find is this:
www.pigprogress.net...
www.allaboutfeed.net...
...where they talk about how expensive corn is and how cheap international shipping is now, so that it's cheaper for hog producers to import their wheat from the UK and Brazil. But again, this doesn't imply a food shortage.
You can find some import/export numbers here:
www.ers.usda.gov...
Now as for China, they're having a terrible drought and their grain crops are failing.
www.allaboutfeed.net...
And I read that if China is forced to import even 5% of it's grain needs, it would decimate the world's grain trade.

Again, exactly, you are the largest exporter - or possibly 'were'? That's why it's interesting we're shipping to you.....
All I know is this particular person sits on the board that arranged this shipment. Can I prove it - no. Can I say his name - I don't think I should because I am unsure if this is public knowledge or not. However, 3 huge shipments left the UK; 1 to China and 2 to the USA because it was needed.
US hog producers are to import wheat from Britain and Brazil due to the high cost of US corn and feed grain, said Don Butler, spokesman for Murphy-Brown, the hog-raising unit of Smithfield Foods.
The United States is the world's largest wheat exporter and it is rarely economical to import feed grain. However, a dramatic drop in ocean freight has made foreign wheat more economical than US supplies, Butler said.
The first two vessels will arrive in Wilmington, North Carolina, in the first week of December. The other shipments will arrive in January and February. Two cargoes will be from Britain and one cargo from Brazil, which imported US wheat earlier this year when supplies were not available from neighbouring Argentina.
Wheat cargoes are normally 25,000 to 55,000 tonnes, depending on the size of the vessel but the amount of wheat in each cargo was not specified. "The shipment of wheat will offer us an alternative to very expensive corn," Butler said. "I can't get into specifics but it's not an insignificant volume."
