Why are the far right rioters often middle aged?

Sara Wilford (DeMontfort) suggests, they feel have been relatively ignored by politics & are frustrated about their plight (with no-one to listen); also they're not that digitally 'savvy' & so can be taken in by digital disinformation.

Its an interesting explanation of the apparent demographics - their political isolation may also be due to their underlying views of course.... but plausible overall!
