These protests have morphed in to a working class resistance movement. I posted a link recently to an Oxfam research article that claimed eight people have the equivalent wealth of the poorest 50% of the world's population combined. Whether accurate or not people are realising they're becoming poorer every year while the mega rich stuff what they've lost into their bulging bank accounts. Here, the bread in bread and circuses, welfare payments, are being reduced or withdrawn. For as long as the citizenry remain passive they'll continue to be drained, and staring at the box while hoping for the best will only result in inequality widening further.
