My father (now deceased) was British but became a US citizen in the 50's once told me that the British used to not have too many issues with public unrest because there was always a war every few years and then and the lower classes were always sent off to the front lines of battle and their ranks were thinned out enough that you didn't hear much from them until the next war.... and then they were gone again.
