Ah, no news about the Muslim attacks on white people in various cities the last few days. Yesterday Sky News was reporting while Muslim men walked past with machetes. Later they were intimidated by others and a man tried to slash their van tyres while they were leaving. Will these men be called right wing extremists by Starmer and the media? In fact they are because their religion is far more intolerant than any U.K. group.

Thw country has been divided for ages, this has to happen. Let’s not forget the recent Muslim riots in Leeds and other cities which were not condemned at all.

All illegal thuggery should be condemned and work much be done to stop the divisions immediately.

Any links to any non far-right extremist media organizations that are claiming this happened?

Or did the right wing media just make it up?

Areas of Birmingham have marauding hordes of Muslims walking around armed and there is visibly no police presence. White peoples in cars are being stopped and attacked and many premises smashed. Zero police confrontation.

Yes, here’s one it’s from a site called BBC News, I’m not aware of them being far right extremist media.

Organised sexual predation and forced drug addiction of young English girls, two-tier policing and the unwarranted arrest of elderly people,stabbings and burning cities-Starmer’s definition of England is……?

The army needs to be put on the streets with loaded weapons…

Did they report the same claim as you made? I’m skeptical.

As usual I just get down votes, abuse and accusations of lying when I present factual information. This blinkered way of thinking is why we are all so divided.

The rioters will face harsh justice from the courts/law.

To form an clear picture, it is important to realise, to have an insight to what motivates, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known by the pseudonym Tommy Robinson, in his own words.

All can make there own minds up, form an opinion.

Unless Parliament find a single unified voice, open an independent inquiry into the inequalities, poverty, within communities/society then such an inflammatory statement "civil war is inevitable." could become prophetic.

Far-right thugs have attacked Muslims. Some are fighting back. Their Mosques have been attacked.

Far-right thugs started the riots, arson, and looting.

They smashed the windows of the working people, looted their stores, and destroyed their amenities.

The first ones have appeared in the courts. Stamer asked for quick action to name the offenders.

@FFSteve: Why do you try to deny the facts that are out there for all to see?

'Facts' Most reasonable people do not trust 'alternative facts'. Some extremist social media parrots have repeatedly pushed mis- and disinformation for them to be believed. Putin's thug Prizoghin and his Internet Research Agency employees set the stage. Perhaps some of those employees are still working for one of Putin's other thugs maybe the Kremlin's Africa Corps.

The Muslim attacks are facts, dunno what’s wrong with you

Wallace

I hope you condone these Muslim attacks as strongly you did the others. They also smashed windows of cars, shops, attacked people walking down the street and walked around the streets brandishing machetes, knives, pieces of wood etc. They disrupted and took over a part of the city and the police took zero action.

So do you think this violence is OK because it was started by others?

I posted a link from BBC News. If any of you bothered to look at it you’d see for yourself rather than attacking me all the time.

UK riots: Why are far-right groups attacking immigrants and Muslims?

Police arrest hundreds as chaos fuelled by hate and misinformation grips the United Kingdom in the aftermath of a tragic stabbing attack.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/5/uk-riots-why-are-far-right-groups-attacking-immigrants-and-muslims

Tommy Robinson spread fake info online that the Southport killer was a Muslim migrant who arrived in the country last year. Meanwhile, he is sunning himself in Cyrus.

"Tommy Robinson has been accused of whipping up far-right riots from a five-star hotel in Cyprus. The right-wing agitator was accused of stoking tensions from afar after he promoted a “pro-UK” rally and appeared to defend the unrest on social media while on holiday abroad."

The most worrying concerns, falseflagsteve is the country is close to boiling point.

Three in four say Britain is divided, but public say problems are less serious than in the US

https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/three-four-say-britain-divided-public-say-problems-are-less-serious-than-us

76% of Britons believe that Britain is divided these days – down from 85% in 2018 (-9)

Half (52%) say that the most tension exists between immigrants and people born in Britain (up from 42% in 2019)

Generally, Britons are less concerned than Americans about political violence in their country

Keir Starmer government cannot bring about change without Parliament/commons unifying an agenda that brings communities together.

The glaring racial/religious fractures within communities are close to a point that civil violent conflict will explode into full blown sectarian hostility.

Well, that’s right, you don’t get more far right in U.K. than Muslims.

They may have shown up to counter, might be fake news, however they went on the rampage.

Total carnage will now ensue nationwide.

So the men last night many carrying Palestinian flags were what? I don’t hate Muslims or anyone, just state facts about them. The most far right community in the country.

The UK needs to come down like a tonne of bricks on the violent scum as pictured above. Many years locked away for those ~400 thugs arrested.

Taking away these criminals' welfare and welfare housing would also be a good measure.

This won't end well for the UK and two-tier Kier.

Let the courts deal with the rioters, the hooliganism.

The vital necessity here/now is for politician/parliament the seat of Great Britain's democracy is to halt religious racial divisions, to roll back from a 2 tier policing policy.

To bring together communities to take part in open public forums to instigate change. Real change.

No other way.

It's just a re-run of the National Front aggro that peppered the 1970s or that of Mosley's ‎British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. Albeit this time the victims are more organised, more numerous, have more widespread support and are prepared to fight back. It will wind down, but not as soon as it would have if the Tories hadn't cut police numbers and prison capacity. Right-wing neo-/Nazi thugs crawl out from under their rocks every few decades when inspired by populist politicians and the media. As for social media - it will never match the British tabloid press for misinformation. They were experts at it decades before the net was invented.

British cities were always grim and dangerous. They were revamped and became a little more pleasant in the 80s and 90s, but post-Brexit the money has gone, unis are declining, public services are going and they will rapidly decline again. Not tourist territory and not particularly pleasant places to live.

Starmer won a landslide victory. The thugs causing this have taken it badly. They are a (very) small minority and widely reviled. The police will nick them, the courts will bang them up. Life will go on.

My local town centre was no different to normal today, but the usual mix of kids (on holiday), mums with small kids and older folk did have one persistent gripe: the inconvenience of bus stops being moved due to building work to create cycle lanes that few will ever use.

No sign of anything approaching 'civil war'.

Two-tier policing is a large part of the problem.

Nigel Farage's claim.

Sir Keir Starmer has rejected claims of “two-tier policing” in Britain after Nigel Farage suggested riots over the last week have been dealt with more harshly than other recent unrest and protests.

Maybe they believe that, but they went on a rampage attacked the public, journalists and destroyed property. Not the police I may add, they were a no show for some reason.

Everything I have stated is factual and can be seen on videos online and through news outlets.

Extreme Right wing means intolerance, bigotry, hating homosexuals and making women second class citizens.

JJE

The main problem including the grooming gangs and heavily populated Muslim areas being no go areas are being ignored and swept under the carpet.

Muslims comprise 4% of the U.K. population and make up 16% of the prison population. Things need to be sorted to make the streets safe for all.

That includes thugs and troublemakers of all religions and ethnic background.

You have a right to self defence in the U.K. but not turn that into attacking innocents and destruction of property. Tensions are running high and the government need to step in and say they will listen to people’s concerns and make an appeal for calm.

Why all the hullabaloo? The west was certainly watching with glee when similar violence occurred in Hong Kong in 2019.

Yes, and we all know who was behind that, just as we know that the anti-Muslim hate and anti-immigrant racism in the UK is being funded by foreign Zionists.

@ FFS: Areas of Birmingham have marauding hordes of Muslims

Are these the same areas some of Murdoch's millionaire entertainers falsely claimed police will not go into? If so, then once again Murdoch's outlets have got social media posters to push their disinformation. Murdoch is one of the parrot trainers, he has a number of social media posters willing to parrot his falsehoods, some of his falsehoods which he's admitted to have published. Unfortunately they were believed by many in his intended audience, and sometimes violence resulted.

Amazing! You seemed to be far more concerned with a handful of Muslims creating disturbances in a suburb of Birmingham than you are about actual riots, looting, burning and destruction in Rotherham, Southport, London or Sunderland. This is far more than you’ve ever said about those riots.

Let be absolutely clear, the links, I posted must not be construed to be supportive or condemning Tommy Robinson.

To do so would misunderstand completely, especially the logic reasoning.

Clarity, inference into how Robinson experiences, morphed into extreme prejudices, to a dark world of what the main stream establishment defines as "white racial supremacist" activism..

A young man born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents who were given asylum more than 17 years ago. Moved to Bank near Southport and committed a horrendous crime stabbing to death three young girls enjoying a school holiday event. The motives for the killing are not known to the public.

Southport is close to my heart and a childhood place near my family home.

The likes of Tommy Robinson jumped on his racial hate bandwagon and messages on the social network that the killer was a Muslim and arrived in the UK on a boat last year.

Tommy Robinson is in Cyprus and wanted for a court appearance.

Robinson urged his followers to protest. They descended on Southport with brutal force and caused destruction and mayhem.

The riots and mayhem spread to other cities. It sucked in other people who have grievances about the current immigration situation.

Attacks also started against the Muslim communities.

Hatred must never win the day and the true grievances must be addressed by the one-month-old government that inherited the problem after 14 years of failure by the likes of Sunak and his party.
