Trying to Capitalize on Anti-Migrant Riots Could Backfire on U.K.’s Far Right
NY Times ^ | 08/08/2024 | Amanda Taub

The violent unrest that has broken out in multiple towns across England and Northern Ireland this week feels simultaneously shocking and familiar. Rioters have rampaged across more than 15 towns and cities, looting businesses, injuring police officers, attacking mosques and targeting hotels that house asylum seekers. Britain has had sporadic outbreaks of semi-organized mob violence for decades, including brawls by infamous “firms” of soccer hooligans in the 1980s and ’90s, an outbreak of race rioting in northern England in 2001 and a spate of rioting and looting centered on London in 2011. But some circumstances are markedly different. While the 2011 unrest was sparked by the police killing of a Black man, these riots have stemmed from far-right disinformation on social media. Online influencers opposed to immigration spread the false claim that an asylum seeker had killed three children last week in Southport, England, and called their supporters to attend “protests” against the supposed threat. Many of the gatherings erupted into violence.

Blah blah blah Amanda.

My question is, why does the British government want the third world pouring in? Do they hate British cultural or is the third world easier to control? I am missing something?

>> why does the British government want the third world pouring in?

Because the Elitist losers wish to eradicate dominate Caucasian males.

“Far Right”

I did an interesting experiment. I asked Wikipedia for its entries which included the words “Far Right”. I got pages of articles. I asked for articles with the words “Far Left”.
There were NONE.

If you check the British official web sites like BBC, you will find absolutely NOTHING.
They talk about Olympics, celebrities, war in Ukraine.
Like nothing is happening.

Trying to Capitalize on Anti-Migrant Riots Could Backfire on U.K.’s Far Right

_________________________________________________

The political Left is trying its best to see that massive violence erupts wherever they have control. It’s the only reasonable thing to deduce from most of their actions.

There is no far right. There are just people who love their country.

To Amanda Taub of the NY Times, anything that is not extreme far Left is extreme far Right.

Delusional.

Leftists leaders must have control of the nations in which they reside. They consider themselves smarter, kinder and more just than their reprehensible conservative opponents. Collectivist leaders, e.g. Harris, must have a constant influx of child bearing, needy supporters to woo with the false promises of socialism.

In fact, I don't really believe commie leaders anywhere really believe in anything other than holding power.

More Right wingers need to use “far” left “radicals”. “Provocateurs” “groomers”

If they are cutting healthy genitals, porn in pre K, they are groomers. Pedos. Sickos and especially murderers when they aided and abetted the illegals who kill our children with rape. Torture and fentanyl.

“Far right” = anyone that disagrees with mass unchecked importation from 3d world countries with no history of or respect for western values, placing said migrations onto overloaded welfare and social services roles, and being too intimidated by their belligerent sense of grievance and entitlement…to require and enforce their compliance with English social norms.

“The political Left is trying its best to see that massive violence erupts wherever they have control.”

Here’s a different possibility - The noodle-arm, deep state morons don’t have a clue what they’re doing and the result is violence and chaos.
