Not really, that started up as a march against injustice and rightfully so.
Then it kicked off into rioting. From rioting it became looting.
It achieved nothing except an increase to the prison population by a vengeful government.
It also increased TPTB desire to control and moniter social media, personal communications, and the Internet.
Now because of all that our communications are monitored LEGALLY and they can turn off all public comms on a whim of the police and government.
It also enhanced their powers during civil disturbance.
Boy didn't they do well for our freedoms!
That wasn't a revolution. Revolution results in change.
The nearest the UK got to that in recent history was the poll tax riots in 1990 when our poor little Mp's feared for their precious skins. THat resulted in the abolition of the poll tax.
And that was 22 years ago.
