Are Our Riots Just The English Way of Protest?

Over the weekend, there were massive protests against the cost of living in Israel.

So they weren’t violent, but that may be the Israeli way.

There is no doubt there is a lot of disaffection in this country.  So are the young just doing what they’ve always done and protest violently? In my lifetime we’ve had Teddy boys, Mods and Rockers and football holligans, all of whom came from the very violent tendency.

So now the poor are struggling with job losses, benefit cuts and pay day loan sharks, they might feel that the only way to get what they want is to loot it.
