Riots accompany Ikea opening
This story tickled me so much that I burst out laughing, and then had to explain myself.
The idea of crazed twenty-somethings looking to furnish their first flats and bringing out the savagery inherent in man makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. The suspicion that Chris Morris is behind it all is hard to shake.
Of The Sun's coverage, my favourite is this line:
"I saw women punching women and men threatening children."
Flat-pack frenzy indeed. I'd like to imagine there's a group of rioters still in the store, descending into a Lord of the Flies style hierarchy of bullying and squabbling for precedence. Whoever holds the phillips-head screwdriver and allen key is in charge.
