I am not sure it's the Palestinian flag tbh, those are relatively isolated to some areas of London and protests, and I am not sure it cuts through.
It seems to have come from a social media craze and then from a perception that they've been told they can't do it, so do so in protest and a general feeling of anger.
A healthier outlet to some of the anger that had exploded the previous summer. People just seem very angry at the moment. I've said on here, maybe this thread, about how some people on Twitter who were relatively normal political commentators have gone completely mad.
