People 1: Government 0

You wouldn't know it if you relied on the BBC website as the source of all your news but fall out from the global economic downturn has brought down it's first government. The normally placid people of Iceland, a country that has just a hundred people in prison, 700 police officers and the most notorious bankers in the world, have

risen up

against their government forcing resignations at the very top. As

other bloggers

have highlighted, this isn't your usual lefty rent-a-mob protesters but desperate citizens rising up against the state. They weren't trashing Starbucks or private businesses but instead targeting government institutions and the police.

Despite the BBC and co attempting to stop the people of Britain getting any ideas, these riots have spread across Europe. TB wonders just how long before the frustration and pain the British people feel will turn to anger...

People shouldn't be afraid of their governments... you know the rest.
