“The main institutions in an established democracy no longer seem to work for the people. The man in the street is thinking: nothing is ever going to change, and if that's the case, you disinvest in the society around you and look elsewhere for purpose. Once you get that level of distrust, it's pretty clear where people will turn to get some kind of solace...the internet.” — Olivia Yallop
