  Twenty years ago to the day Britain witnessed the worst rioting in its history. Three thousand people rampaged through the streets surrounding Trafalger Square in London. The cause of this rioting was the Poll Tax, what one could describe as a tax too far. It marked the demise of Thatcher much to the delight of many people, especially those who had suffered high interest rates, unemployment, bankruptcy and having their homes repossessed as a result of her swingeing reforms.
  Politicians are promising severe cuts after the next general election but let's hope that they remember this date 20 years ago when ordinary people protested and said 'enough is enough' for under the surface this time is a simmering dissatisfaction with all politicians and a growing discontent with the number of immigrants that are slowly eroding our culture and way of life.
