Rotherham uneasily calm after anti-immigrant violence

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has credited heavy security measures and stringent sentencing of rioters with preventing further violence. On Wednesday night, thousands of anti-fascist demonstrators took to the streets to help maintain order. The far-right, anti-immigration riots erupted following the spread of false information on social media, which falsely claimed that the perpetrator of a stabbing attack that killed three young girls was a Muslim migrant.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports from Rotherham.

⁠ If anyone actually cared to ask the Native Brits anything, you’d realize they didn’t vote and don’t want to send their money overseas to fund wars, they didn’t vote or want mass immigration, 2-tier policing, crime and violence, they didn’t ask for their their hospitals to become so full they have to wait 7 hours in some cases for health care, they didn’t vote for anything that’s happening. Yes, Britain has done bad things in the past. But realize most people in England were poor and forced into servitude by their rulers. Most died terrible deaths by the sword or on the sea. Now those very same people are being blamed for things they themselves have no control in. They are forever being punished for the sins they themselves never committed. The government has always and will always be the problem of everything. That’s why you must say no to big governments and stop creating welfare states because then they own you. Please open your eyes everyone. Love to the Brits🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️✝️

Anyone remember Lawrence of Arabia a.k.a T. E. Lawrence? When the outbreak of the First World War sent T. E. Lawrence to the Arabs of the Near East with the assignment to rouse them into a rebellion against their Turkish masters and to make them fight on the British side.
