🚨 THE CLOCK IS TICKING
Governments can contain a riot.
They can deploy police.
They can make arrests.
What becomes far harder to contain is a growing belief among millions of people that nobody in power is listening.
From Belfast to Glasgow and beyond, the question is no longer whether there is public anger.
The question is how much further it spreads.
If the unrest fades, the government will claim victory.
If it continues to grow, this stops being a law-and-order issue and becomes a crisis of political legitimacy.
History shows that when governments lose the trust of the people, events can move very quickly.
The next few days may prove decisive.

@realMaalouf They loathe themselves and their own hypocrisy. Western clothes, western technology and on western benefits. The only way to decrease their cognitive dissonance is to lash out towards an imagined oppressor.
