I dont think there will be roiting after the nuclear exchange ... due to lack of people and places to riot :-)

I see it as being more like what happened with Iraq...there may be a sizeable anti war element who would make their voices heard in the period leading up to the UK's entry in to the war, but once British forces are involved the message coming out from the Government and the media would be to support the troops. That's not to say there wil be no trouble - some disorder is possible, but I think it would generally be on a smaller scale and dealt with extremely robustly by the authorities (in my Alternative Survivor's Guide to the UK I suggest that one catalyst for disorder would be the introduction of conscription).
However after the nukes start flying I still think large scale disorder is much more likely in the surviving cities and towns.
