The piece blends essays, travel, science, and sensational anecdotes.

Disturbances on Woodhouse Moor led to arrests of rioters. At Guildhall Mr Wilkinson faced an assault charge connected to polling duties. An Norfolk election night melee in Norwich left about 40 injured as mob clashes erupted around St Andrew's Church Mall.
