Possibly. However we don't burn lorry loads of lamb on quaysides, blockade ferry ports with fishing boats and 'yellow vests' are for making sure you're not run over by a forklift. If the weather looks 'iffy' we can't be @rsed to riot and we DEFINITELY don't do armed insurrection.
However given the media mantra 'if it bleeds it leads', which inevitably distorts things, I do actually question what the situation is really like in the US when looking from this side of the Atlantic. Let's face it the American press had us living in fear after a terror attack, Katy Hopkins
told the US ........... “People are cowed. People are afraid. And people are not united.” Pretty soon there was a strong sarcastic UK response on Twitter that trended higher than news of the attack, and pictures of someone running away with a half drunk pint in his hand started doing the rounds.
