There are many countries in Asia ( eg. Thailand) and Africa who have experienced mass riot as a result of high price of fuel & cost of goods. That is not all. Did you follow the 2 week strike by the Truckies in Australia?.

Therefore, it is normal and expected to have social unrest in our Happy Isles as a result of high price of fuel & high cost of goods. We are on the planet Earth so we will have the effects of the Global economy. When the world coughs our nation, like any other nation, sneezes.
