Seeing the riots in France because of the retirement reforms imposed by the French government on French people, I remember an article I wrote about London riots in London (Great-Britain) that took place in 2011. The protests started in Tottenham Hale, London, following the death of Mark Duggan, a local man who was shot dead by police on 4 August.[11] Several violent clashes with police followed Duggan's death, along with the destruction of police vehicles, a double-decker bus and many homes and businesses, which rapidly gained the attention of the media. Overnight, looting took place in Tottenham Hale retail park and in nearby Wood Green. The following days saw similar scenes in other parts of London, with the worst rioting taking place in Hackney, Brixton, Walthamstow, Wandsworth, Peckham, Enfield, Battersea, Croydon, Ealing, Barking, Woolwich, Lewisham and East Ham.
From 8 to 11 August, other towns and cities in England (including Birmingham, Bristol, Coventry, Derby, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester, and Nottingham, and saw what was described by the media as "copycat violence", with social media playing a role.
Below is what I wrote in 2011, that I could easily replicate again about the mainstream media. The world does not change, it is?
Quid des émeutes en Angleterre? What about the riots in England? (2011)
Quid des émeutes en France? What about the riots in France?
C'est à peine si
les grands médias en discutent. Un bouleversement social si significatif dans
un pays démocratique. Pourtant ils nous rabattent tout le temps les oreilles
avec ce qui se passe en Syrie, Lybie, Egypte, etc
Une autocensure
planifiée pour ce qu'il s'agit des émeutes dans le monde dit industrialisé. Car
les émeutes, c'est pas fait pour le Western World.
Continuons donc à fouiller d'autres sources (non censurées) pour découvrir la "vraie vérité" au sujet de notre planète si chère à nous tous, nos enfants et petits-enfants... !

English:
What about the riots in England?
Those riots are hardly discussed in the mainstream media. Such a significant social upheaval in a democratic country! Yet all the times they scorch our ears with what is happening in Syria, Libya, Egypt, etc.
Self-censorship that what it is! Maybe riots do not occur in
the so-called industrialized world.
This silence reveals the hypocrisy of the mainstream media
which lets us hear what it wants us to hear.
Therefore, let us continue to search other news sources (unredacted) to discover the "real truth" about our planet dear to all of us...and our kids and grandkids...
