It was set in August 2011. I switched off when they referred to the London 'Austerity' Riots.

What was the context of the reference to "austerity riots"?

The story was about yer man overdosing on anti-depressants after a bad review that he thought had a point.

I just wasn't impressed with the depiction of last Augusts criminal opportunism as some kind of political protest against a nasty, cost cutting government.
