Say What?

Something in the daily rag to cancel any crisis
Some people think that this country will explode.
It was to be heard so often that the 'powers that be' were almost relieved when the Beeston Four murdered 50 people in London last July; it gave us doubters something to unite against, a new demonology against which there would be a new social cohesion behind our masters.

But what is this?
Apparently the exlosion is here, and it isn't very easy to put into a box.
As Winston Churchill was heard (not) to say,in 1940,"Gosh, isn't there an awful lot vandalism in London this Autumn?"
