England on the Brink: Starmer Vows Swift Action Against Anti-Immigration ‘Extremists’, Gov’t Advisor Backs Covid-Style Lockdowns to Stop Riots:
British Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer has vowed that police have his full support in taking on “extremists” as anti-mass migration protests and riots have broken out across the United Kingdom following the mass stabbing at a children’s dance party in Southport earlier this week.
Facing a full-blown crisis less than one month into office, recently elected leftist Prime Minister Starmer gathered top cabinet ministers on Saturday as unrest erupted in dozens of towns and cities throughout the UK, in many cases in typical Labour Party strongholds in the north of England, in response to the slaying of three young girls and the stabbing of eight others, including children, allegedly by a 17-year-old Rwandan-heritage second-generation immigrant on Monday.
The Guardian, citing the far-left Hope Not Hate organisation, reported that an estimated 35 locations had been scheduled to see protests on Saturday, some of which saw violent clashes between participants and the police, as well as attacks on businesses, particularly in Belfast, Hull, Liverpool, and Manchester. According to The Telegraph, at least 90 arrests were made throughout the country on Sunday.
A Downing Street spokesman told the paper: “The prime minister set out that the police have our full support to take action against extremists on our streets who are attacking police officers, disrupting local businesses and attempting to sow hate by intimidating communities.
“The prime minister ended by saying the right to freedom of expression and the violent disorder we have seen are two very different things. He said there is no excuse for violence of any kind and reiterated that the government backs the police to take all necessary action to keep our streets safe.”
The hardline rhetoric from the left-wing PM, who has characterised the protests and riots as “far-right,” on the outpouring of rage and violence has been contrasted to his response during the deadly and deeply destructive Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, when he infamously took the knee in solidarity with the Marxist movement and described those involved as “people rightly demanding justice”. --->READ MORE HERE
England Riots: Fires Set, Police Attacked in Sunderland as Anger over Child Mass Stabbing Rages:
The riots in England over the mass stabbing attack on a children’s dance party continued on Friday evening in Sunderland, where hundreds engaged in violent actions that saw a building set on fire and three police officers injured.
Northumbria Police said that that it faced “serious and sustained levels of violence” on Friday evening, which it described as “utterly deplorable”. The force said that eight people have been arrested so far on charges ranging from burglary to violent disorder.
A total of three police officers were injured during the riot, two of whom remain in hospital for further treatment at the time of this reporting.
It is the latest in a string of riots in England following the mass stabbing at a children’s ‘Taylor Swift’ dance party in Southport, Merseyside on Monday. The attack, allegedly committed by a Rwandan-heritage teenager, left three young girls dead and eight others injured.
Like the riots seen in Southport earlier this week, rioters threw bricks and clashed with police outside a mosque, the Guardian reports.
In a statement, Chief Superintendent Helena Barron of Northumbria Police said: “The shocking scenes we have witnessed in Sunderland this evening are completely unacceptable.
“I want to make it absolutely clear that the disorder, violence and damage that which has occurred will not be tolerated.”
The riots in Sunderland again drew swift condemnation from the political class in Westminster. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “The police have the full backing of Government to take the strongest possible action & ensure they face the full force of the law. --->READ MORE HERE
