The book, developed from my teaching on my undergraduate module Britain in Crisis, attempts to both explore how events come to be labelled as crises and implications of such definitions as well as attempting to explain key turning points in modern British history.

Only 14% of the country say that the people participating in the riots speak for people like them - compared to 86% who say they do not. Again Reform voters tend to be outliers here, although a majority still say they do not speak for people like them.

What do people think the motivation for the riots are? About 23% say legitimate concerns about immigration, around a third say far right ideology and racism, but the biggest group - nearly half say a desire to engage in violence and criminal damage.

Firstly, most Briton's see the events as riots rather than as protests, overall 74% say they are riots 14% protests and 4% something else. Reform voters are the most likely to describe them as protests (34%).
