""Widespread Civil Unrest" Looming In UK Over Cost-Of-Living Crisis"

Uh oh. I have a bad feeling that we are going to see Izabella Kaminska transform from reporting on the unrest, losing her trademark objectivity, and going all "Aux barricades!". 
Izzy, remember to bring some water for when the tear gas flies, it's not the most effective eyewash but helps a bit.  Also, if interested, take a look at "Protest In Hong Kong: The Technology" for some other tips e.g.

The chance of “widespread civil unrest” occurring in the UK as a result of people being unable to afford to pay their bills due to the cost of living crisis is “inevitable,” according to one campaigner.

With energy prices set to soar even higher in October as a result of the sanctions on Russia, many Brits have resolved to refuse to pay their bills as part of a growing backlash some are comparing to the poll tax riots.
