I don't know much about UK Politics, but I have seen a noticeable trend in the US that when an immigrant commits a crime, anti-immigration factions immediately use it as a call to arms. "An immigrant committed a crime so we must deport all immigrants due to their intrinsic danger" type stuff. Yet, 100s of white Americans can commit crimes, even specifically political terrorist attacks, and no one in those factions will bat an eye or call out white Americans for their intrinsic danger.

I see no value in this type of rhetoric. It is searching for an incident to justify an often racist or xenophobic cause.

Yes. I agree, the worst of the extreme right and left take advantage of these situations and make them worse. What do you think though, are the people on the ground actually far fight or is it composed of normal everyday citizens being used by Far right instigators? I know you're not from the UK (I'm not either)  but at a glacé whata ya reckon?

Far-right or people manipulated by far-right actors, doesn't make much of a difference to me.

Myself, I think all riots are atrocious and unjustified but I see where both instances were people at their breaking point. People were fed up with the cops then, now they're fed up with crime. Something had to be done about illeagal immigration on the continental and in the UK and Ireland. It's causing severe problems like these riots, crime, financial pressures on our governments and people. Do you not think?

Also, weird to use anti-immigrant rioting as a "severe problem" that should be fixed by stricter immigration enforcement. Seems kinda like a problem with anti-immigration rhetoric...
