Protest At The Lockdown.
44 Answers
Last week, a guy tried to organise a protest march against the lockdown, from Trafalgar Square to Downing Street. You didn't hear about did you? Because only 2 people turned up! I wonder why? Could the fact that they were in lockdown have anything to do with it?
What the protesters should be doing to protest at the lockdown is - tonight after the round of applause, go to your front door and bash your pans with cutlery, like others do who are on enforced lockdown. I think you'll make more noise than the applauders. Go on! Give it a go! I will.

No signs of riots as far as I can see, just an acceptance that this is a necessary measure, and I'm not aware of anything out of the ordinary overseas either- maybe a link would enlighten me. The protection measures from the Chancellor cover most people, and the existing pensioners and benefits claimants aren't affected if they weren't working before, so can you give examples of which people will turn into rioters through new poverty?
In countries where the poor exist on less than a dollar a day, living hand to mouth, suddenly under curfew etc.
Look at East Africa, Somalia, Kenya and Uganda.
The Covid restrictions will hurt them far more than they hurt us.
Add to that local flooding, and the worst locust swarms in seventy years, coinciding with the harvest, and already five million children malnourished, and people will fight over food.
We!have!our safety net social security, but we are not immune from the pressures but to a lesser extent.
Then there is the tribe mentality that rears its head occasionally, as when the armed criminal Mark Duggan was shot dead by the police, and London burned.

I believe there were some in Germany, and maybe Italy as well.

The Paris one looked like the sort of thing that happens in the Paris suburbs fairly regularly- Covid or no Covid- when someone from the local usually ethnic community gets arrested/ injured/killed by police.
The riot in Italy I know about was in a prison. There was another one in Italy reported but it turned out to be nothing to do with Covid restrictions.
The main risk here is that drugs couriers are more easily spotted and I think that as more arrests are made there could be issues in communities that rely on the drugs trade
