The energy has been released - now is it going to be a firework or a laser beam? Only the people on the ground in [England] can tell, and so far we're only hearing all the voices yelling "SIT BACK DOWN AND SHUT THE HELL UP".
Of course implacable opposition, rioting, etc are fun and all. But what does it accomplish, if not tempered with a positive?
We commented on riots in Tonga in 2006, and in Greece last year, and the same rules still apply. My favourite Trot gives a good analysis - interesting how the American media are far enough away from the action that they can actually see what it's about, as opposed to the British media demanding troops on the streets, mass floggings, etc.
The forest fire burns everything down. Then possibly new growth can happen.
There were some fantastic rumors going around on Twitter last night UK time that the rioters in Bristol had gotten into the zoo and released the animals. Unfortunately sightings of the lions wandering around the city were false....:(
