Although I live in quite close proximity to some of the rioting, I would have no idea how to prevent it. It wasn't as far as I can see a political or interest group protest at all, not that Patrick is suggesting it was (is). Unlike with the poll tax riots, for example, there is virtually no broader public support for what has happened. But I think Patrick's points apply to most countries at all times. These type of herd reactions take many forms. This time, destruction by youths (not all of them by any means disaffected, by all accounts). There was similar if far lesser behaviour purported to be in reaction to the student fee increases a few months back. Perhaps it's a lord of the rings effect.
