A Cacophony of Riots.
The Whys and Wherefores.

Tommy Robinson or Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to give him his birth name set up the EDL. The English Defence League was allegedly set up to counter Islamism. An extremely fascistic branch of Islam. Such groups that fall under this banner could be the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, IS, and countless other groups. The EDL would gather to confront mosques being built, gather in Muslim areas, and be there to stop Muslim protests about British troops parading. Subsequently, Robinson stepped down as the group leader and the group seemed to go quiet.
However, Robinson has remained a prominent activist. Robinson is the devil incarnate to those on the left or a hero to those on the right. With the awful stabbings of three girls and others in Southport at a dance class for Taylor Swift, it seems the EDL has resurrected (or maybe it never went away). Riots followed over the alleged attacker a black youngster of Rwandan descent. The false story was put about that the attacker was Syrian and came over on a boat until the true identity of the attacker was released. The attacker is also non-Muslim and has a history of mental illness. Nevertheless, the genie was out of the bottle and Native British people took to the streets some outraged by the killing of three innocent young girls. Others were out there to cause trouble and go on a looting spree. The police were confronted and are confronted by ongoing riots up and down the country. People like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson will be seen as prophets by their supporters. At the time, their words have not helped the situation.
Groups like the EDL are also in attendance at these gatherings. These mass protests which include attacking mosques and Muslims or any foreigner these groups don't like are planning these gatherings on social media. Muslim groups notably the Muslim Defence League have sprung up to defend the Muslim community. It seems this country is on a knife edge as these groups confront each other along with ANTIFA. The police have been accused of two-tier policing. In other words, when it's white people protesting the police go in hard and fast. Whereas when it's Muslim, foreign, or left wing, demonstrators the police tend to be more softly, softly. Can these claims be substantiated? I would not like to say.
Calls for the army to be deployed have so far been refuted. John Healey Defence Secretary has said there is no need to deploy the military. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said reserve police will be deployed. She says there is no need to deploy the army. However, these riots do not seem to be calming down anytime soon. What if the police cannot cope and the violence not only by right-wing violence but others intensifies?
Sir Keir Starmer has pronounced that these rioters will pay for their actions. Starmer has identified these rioters as right-wing thugs. Starmer is correct to do so. However, some people who do not wish to cause violence are there because they are concerned. They see waves and waves of migrants coming in and governments of all hues commit to stopping this but nothing is done. They see their neighbourhoods changing rapidly not looking British any more. While some of these people's reasoning may be motivated by racism, others will be concerned that these incomers don't want to be British. They live in their little communities having little to no contact with the host community. While the views of Native Brits are understandable violence is not the way. Violence by other groups is not the way either. Are outside actors like Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea whipping this up as well as actors in this country? I will say, most definitely, why wouldn't they?
A solution to the problems that the British nation is facing must be tackled. The problems that are the root of these problems will not be tackled. These problems have been building for a long time and we find ourselves in near civil war conditions.
