Having been born and bred in London and having witnessed the Brixton and Toxteth riots of the early 80s, this is by far the most intense I've ever seen.
That's what happens in a system with even less checks and balances than our own, when you announce half a trillion cuts on Friday, and they go into effect on Monday. (This is what went down last year, btw.)
Then a guy was shot for no reason: the trigger for the action.
It's an uncanny repetition of the late 70s and early 80s all around, with obvious differences. Far more people now are in financial trouble because the welfare state has been eviscerated.
