If it rains, then no!
(you may laugh, but history suggests the biggest effector on any public event in the uk is actually the weather. ie, sure i'll go out into the streets and set fire to someone/thing, but only if my new jeans aren't going to get wet....... )
One absolute certainty over Brexit is that whatever happens, approximately 50% of the population will be satisfied for a short period of time.
We get this wrong every time it’s quoted ^^
As far as the comment about rioting in jails, well if the then Home Sec (Maybot) hadn’t cut funding on both Police force and Jails System and given Governors and jail support staff the necessary guidance and funding then the riots surely would have been quashed as soon as they were initiated... No?
So... The Contards started it, so blame them for it.
I feel for ever one of you that has been in a position of dismay when governed by a bunch of self serving retards.

No (kind of) It was actually that useless **** Grayling who implemented the riddance of over 5000 HMPS staff when he was Justice secretary. I know cos I applied for VEDS (Voluntary Early Departure Scheme) when it was actuated. I didn't get it. He 'forgot' to replace said staff of course & are now blabbing on about how they are/or were recruiting 2500 'extra' officers.
So HMPS staff (the forgotten service) are still being governed by a bunch of self serving retards.
If they can tie the violence into England losing a football match or such all the better.
Or Rangers. Or Celtic
Second weekend of riot police being deployed to deal with some good old West of Scotland bigotry after "loyalists" attacked another Irish march, this time in the city centre.

No, only if we remain will that be the case. If we leave it will either be too brexity, or not brexity enough for the leavers, and still leave for remainers. So > 50% unhappy. HTH.
You have my permission to share that nugget with your friends too
Thanks.
Hopefully if Brexit/Remain is determined by a 2nd referendum that will be enough to have only isolated fringe groups rioting.
If BoJo manages to force through a no deal and somehow in a subsequent GE we end up with a Tory majority government then riots could happen, although most of the Remain camp seem to be on the more moderate side and not so easily riled up by a few Facebook fake news stories/ads so maybe it would more be disruptive demonstrations than riots.
If Brexit gets cancelled without a 2nd referendum then I think there will be some rioting but as a fair chunk of the Brexit camp seem to be well-to-do pensioners hopefully there won't be enough of the knuckle-dragging Facebook-fake-news-influenced far-right Nationalists left to do too much damage but you never know.

Not just in the UK.
Propensity to riot Leave vs Remain is probably a good analogy for Brexit. Most sensible people don't think that smashing up their local shops in a fit of temper over something unrelated will do any more than make them worse off environmentally and financially.
So I'd suggest that those most likely to riot are those who are currently enthusiastic for a different form of national self-harm. Let's face it, they will probably also be the ones rioting six months after their precious no deal when things aren't going as swimmingly as they were told.
Didn't Wetherspoons knock 20p off the price of a pint the other day to prove how better we'll be under brexit?
Surely people will be celebrating rather than rioting, Wetherspoons the beacon they will flock to in the time of uncertainty, while their gallant leaders and millionaires Nigel Farage and Tim Martin assure them that they'll be ok and that their money is safe......and by "their", I mean Nigel and Tims money, everyone elses will be on fire.
