What's the difference between Egypt and the UK? One's ruled by the seriously rich from the 12 ruling families. These rulers are cutting support for the poor while handing out sweetners to their friends. It has an educated middle class using Facebook and Twitter. It has very high youth unemployment saddled with debt. It has an undercurrent of discrimination against ethnic minorities. Demonstrations against all this are generally peaceful but some times kick off with accusations of police brutality. It's military are inextricably entwined with the USA. And the other's just had a revolution.
