More travel warnings issued for UK as violent riots continue

Several countries have issued safety warnings to their citizens in the UK due to ongoing anti-immigration protests and riots.

Nigeria, Malaysia, Australia, Indonesia, the UAE and India have all sent out alerts, advising their nationals living in or visiting the UK to stay away from demonstrations.

India has become the latest of six countries to issue a warning to citizens travelling to the UK following days of violent riots.

How low has the UK 🇬🇧 sunk to be so unsafe that countries are issuing travel warnings to the UK.

Funniest thing is even Nigeria issues travel warning to UK 😂😂

Decades of failure from successive governments have lead to this, and each ex Prime minister said they were 'Proud' to have served their country! Who could be proud of this!

Britain is a no go area, how embarrassing is that.

Notice France and the EU hasn't issued a warning 😆

Well...that's Liesure and Tourism finished in Rotherham then...

[cornwallkev]

Does that include the illegal immigrants coming from France?

Rather than just label everyone as far-right racist thugs, it might be a good idea to figure out why they are protesting and actually talk about the issue, rather than pretending it doesn't exist.

Tourism operators in Rotherham are already seeing a decrease in customers.😂

But no travel issues if your taking the dingy

Where are the Royals, btw???

Imaging Nigeria, India, Indonesia, issuing a warning, things are bad.

In the past, a European citizen who wanted to meet different cultures and get to know other animals had to watch the National Geographic channel or board a flight at the international airport and land after many hours in an exotic place anywhere in the world.
Today he just opens the door and goes out into the street.
Bye bye Europe it was nice to meet you

[patrick-chte]

How about you tell us why they protesting?

[amandaslade]

This will cost the UK dearly, without tourism our economy will suffer massively and result in higher taxes for everyone! It's embarrassing for our country to join the ranks of countries to dangerous to visit! 😢

[FrankSinatraboxing]

I’m sure the tourist information board will be Shocked at this news in Doncaster, Rotherham, Teesport, Darlington, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Hull, …, I can’t be bothered to type anymore - just like these Governments cant be bothered to listen ! 😂
