Well, you have to admit, the British (It pains me to say this, because it includes Scotland too, but it's right) have a lot to be pissed about. Especially the English. These people have gotten supremely trounced since the 18th century. First they lose their hold over us, and it's downhill from there. By the end of World War II, all they have are the Falkland Islands. What can you use the Falklands for? Strategic sheep purposes?

Couple that with the fact people are paying (at the last I heard) roughly $6.00 American for a gallon of gas, and you'd have a right to be pissed off. If you've ever been to Pittsburgh, you'd know that a lot of blue-collar workers only have their professional sports teams going for them. When they lose, they feel diminished to varying degrees.

Throw all the things above into the cauldron, let it simmer long enough, and you get a riot.
