🇫🇷🇬🇧 COULD THE UNREST IN FRANCE SPREAD TO THE UK?
France is currently experiencing widespread student protests, with demonstrations spreading to hundreds of schools. Some protests have involved clashes with police, arrests, injuries, fires and damage to property. The unrest is linked primarily to disputes over school conditions, staffing and government spending.
The question is whether similar unrest could develop in Britain.
The UK has already experienced large demonstrations connected to the migration debate. In September, protests took place in Dover and Portsmouth, including clashes and disruption around ports.
That does not mean the French unrest will spread to Britain, and there is currently no evidence establishing that it will.
But with tensions over migration, public spending and political issues already producing protests in both countries, it is worth asking:
Could Britain see larger demonstrations or disorder in the weeks ahead?
