The current urban unrest in the UK prompted me to look back the similar (but at the same time very different) outbreaks that took place in 2011. This time round, I haven’t seen a repeat of the observation that looters were consciously avoiding bookshops but maybe that’s because there are hardly any bookshops left to ignore...

In Liverpool they burned a library.
Given the general political persuasions of the 2024 rioters, I have a distinct feeling that the only time they would enter a bookshop would be when they wanted to get some books to burn.
