I think these riots have surpassed the 2011 riots and George Floyd riots in severity but I see everyone is calling these rioters far right. Yes I'm sure there are far right instigators and people taking advantage of it just like the far left took advantage of the George Gloyd riots but it seems mainly like ordinary blue collar people.
The misinformation on the killer of the three girls just seems to be the staw that broke the camels back and normal people's frustrations have been pressed to their limits. The more they label them far right the more division they cause and the more they make this problem worse. I hate riots, I wish they'd stop but when they occur it's a sign that the rioters frustrations have bases routed in reality and there is an issue that needs fixing as there was with George Floyd riots. I can't understand why Keir Stammer is just writing off his peoples concerns and frustrations. Demonising them. I'm neordivergent so I might be missing something here.
Do you believe this is solely a far right thing and the majority or middle of the road people fed up with the Governemnt and the trying times we find ourselves in? Do you think the UK Governemnt is handling it properly and what are your thoughts on the violence.
From Wikipedia for those whobneed a refresher...
Far-right protesters have rioted in various parts of England, and in Northern Ireland,[a] since 30 July 2024, which has been the worst public disturbance since the 2011 England riots.[16][17] This followed a mass stabbing of children in Southport on 29 July. The initial riot in Southport and subsequent riots elsewhere have been linked to disinformation on social media, in addition to pre-existing Islamophobic,[18][19][20] racist[21][22] and anti-immigrant sentiment.[23][24][25] The fascist National Front, Britain First and British Movement spread misinformation online,[26][27][3] and members of the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative were involved in the Southport riot
