A Recipe for Riot (by sarah)
1. Take one apathetic, peaceful, book-loving student body intent on learning 2. Tenderise with cuts and broken promises 3. Optionally add agent provocateur/thug type - this speeds the reaction but is not necessary due to using the kettling technique - guaranteed to bring anyone to a slow violent boil 4. Sprinkle in a portion of police - ill-equipped and vulnerable causing the trigger happy reactions that seem justified - adds flavour 5. Leave to simmer with the odd bit of bait/sacrificial target to get the crowd proving 6. Knead in naive youth quick to follow the flow - after it swells to double the size - bash it down 7. Season with paparazzi to bring out the 'incite to violence for the perfect photo' flavour 8. Add a match and Voila! The Social Flambe - Riot 9. Garnish by only reporting the juciest politically-approved bits to the general public 10. Serve piping hot and full of bias and lies
