Prescient

Britain is run by a coalition Government in The Magdalena Curse (published in the UK over a year before we actually got one). And there is a political/economic crisis, though I don't specify its exact nature in any real detail; and there are police in riot gear combating looters on London's streets.
My protagonist witnesses the looting of liquor from the CostCutter store on Kennington Park Road in Lambeth, probably a target boarded up in the current unrest as I write these words.
I can't claim to have seen this coming. I was aiming in the novel for a sort of Wiemar Germany decadence. But the parallels are quite ironic and the similarity sobering (unless you're looting booze from CostCutter).
