Dystopiary
putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
Thinking about the usual fash/rw suspects whipping up these hate riots, weren't some folk convicted/imprisoned of inciting using social media (FB) after the 2011 riots?
These two got four years despite not actually successfully inciting anything:
England riots: pair jailed for four years for using Facebook to incite disorder
Two men – whose posts did not result in riot-related event – sentenced at Chester crown court after arrests last weekwww.theguardian.com
You'd think Lawrence Fox could get the same for his 'this is war' stuff.

Free legal advice:
You don’t have to attend a riot to be prosecuted for conspiracy to
riot. You don’t have to be present at a terrorist incident to be
guilty of encouraging it.
A lot of Twitter warriors will be getting some unpleasant knocks
on the door over the coming weeks.

I'm pretty sceptical about high-profile twats like Fox having much to worry about though but who knows?
