Europe is having their 1960s

Greek Syndrome' is catching as youth take to streets

If Greek students sneeze, or catch a whiff of tear-gas, young people take to the streets in France and now Sweden. Yesterday, masked youths threw two firebombs at the French Institute in Athens. Windows were smashed but the building was not seriously damaged. Then youths spray-painted two slogans on the building. One said, "Spark in Athens. Fire in Paris. Insurrection is coming". The other read, "France, Greece, uprising everywhere".

Remember in V for Vendetta when the Fingerman shoots the kid running around in the Guy Fawkes mask causing riots and anarchy? Yeah.... about that.
