Question!

[latch]

I know, I know. It started out as an 150 person peaceful march for some guy who was shot.
Then, a bunch of British people started being British, all at the same time, and now we're taking away their benefits.

A few stereotypes pop into mind when I read the second sentence. Mostly these are about tea, royalty, and a dry sense of humour mixed with repression so naturally I fail to see where rioting to stealing ipod accessories comes into play.

My theory is rioting was contrived by the power elite to remove more freedoms of the people in the interest of civil peace.
