As I read Paul Rahes recent Ricochet post Rioting for fun and profit, it occurred to me that events in England had made this Malcolms moment Malcolm as in Professor Joyce Lee Malcolm.

Thereafter, violent protests erupted in major cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, and Bristol, contributing to Britannia's worst unrest since the 1980s.
