It argues that political \u2064leaders, particularly \u2063the \u2064liberal elite, have \u2062dismissed legitimate criticisms of immigration policy by labeling\u200c dissenters as &#8220;far-right&#8221; or racist, which\u200c has led\u2062 to widespread unrest. A notable incident that has fueled these tensions is a tragic knife attack \u2064in Southport, linked to non-native individuals, which has galvanized\u2064 anti-immigration \u200bsentiments among \u200cthe public.<\/p>\n<p>The British Prime\u2064 Minister, Keir Starmer, is criticized for his law-and-order approach to the riots, emphasizing \u200cheavy-handed policing against rioters while being accused of \u200cpracticing &#8220;two-tier policing,&#8221; which treats offenders differently based on their ethnic backgrounds. The article \u2063highlights instances of violence from groups labeled as &#8220;Muslim patrols&#8221; in response to a rumored far-right protest that did not\u200c occur. The government&#8217;s rigorous\u200d response to the riots is \u200dseen as a form of counterinsurgency against native Britons, with numerous arrests and \u200bpotential terrorism charges\u200b against participants.<\/p>\n<p>The overarching theme is\u2062 a critique of \u200bhow Britain&#8217;s leaders have neglected the ethnic\u200b and cultural concerns of their citizens\u2064 in\u2062 favor of a\u2062 vague notion of British \u2064identity, \u200cultimately contributing to the social unrest and division currently\u200d evident in the country.\u2063 The \u2063narrative positions\u2062 the riots as a culmination of \u200clong-standing \u200ctensions rather than a simple response to isolated incidents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The rioting breaking out all across Britain right now is what happens when a country&rsquo;s political class tries to depoliticize mass immigration &mdash; smearing anyone who objects to it as &ldquo;far-right&rdquo; &mdash; and then impose a policy of mass immigration by force. At some point, the people revolt.<\/p>\n<p>Britain&rsquo;s liberal elites have latched onto &ldquo;online misinformation&rdquo; and racism as an explanation for the riots, but the real explanation is that Britain&rsquo;s leaders have sold their countrymen out for decades, importing an unassimilated foreign population against the wishes of native Britons. That is a recipe for social unrest and civic strife, and that&rsquo;s exactly what Britain&rsquo;s ruling class has brought about.<\/p>\n<p>Set aside the triggering incident &mdash; in this case, a horrifying knife attack that left three little girls dead in Southport, a town in northwest England. It doesn&rsquo;t matter that the accused attacker, 17-year-old Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, is neither a Muslim nor an immigrant, but merely the son of Rwandan immigrants. What matters is that this attack was the latest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-ends-remain-in-mexico-policy-allows-asylum-seekers-into-us\/\" title=\"Biden Ends \u2018Remain in Mexico\u2019 Policy, Allows Asylum Seekers Into US\">long string<\/a> of attacks by non-native Britons against the native population, and that it occurred in the context of ongoing mass immigration. The riots have been labeled &ldquo;anti-Muslim&rdquo; and &ldquo;far-right&rdquo; by the government and the corporate press, but they are really anti-immigrant. Demonstrators have been quite clear about this, chanting &ldquo;stop the boats&rdquo; and &ldquo;we want our country back,&rdquo; which are reasonable sentiments for ordinary citizens to express about their homeland, whatever Britain&rsquo;s ruling elite might say.<\/p>\n<p>For British Prime Minister Starmer, the only possible explanation is racism and Islamophobia, He believes those who harbor such sentiments must be treated as enemies of the nation, and he has acted accordingly. Starmer has responded to the unrest by vowing to throw the book at rioters, who will face &ldquo;the full force of the law.&rdquo; He&rsquo;s created what he calls a &ldquo;standing army&rdquo; of police and prosecutors, and promises swift consequences not only for those taking part directly but also those &ldquo;whipping up this action online.&rdquo; (Recall that the U.K. jails thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-furious-ca-restaurant-owner-confronts-inspectors-issuing-citation-are-you-gonna-pay-my-rent\/\" title=\"WATCH: Furious CA Restaurant Owner Confronts Inspectors Issuing Citation: \u2018Are You Gonna Pay My Rent?\u2019\">social media users<\/a> every year for expressing opinions online the government deems offensive or dangerous. One man has already been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cn022z0vgj4o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prosecuted for posting about the riots online<\/a>, charged with &ldquo;stirring up racial hatred,&rdquo; according to the BBC.)<\/p>\n<p>What&rsquo;s more, immediately after rioting broke out last week, police were&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TRobinsonNewEra\/status\/1819848400776434120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sent door-to-door<\/a>&nbsp;to hunt down even those only peripherally connected to the disorder. Protesters and sympathetic voices on the right have accused Starmer and the government of &ldquo;two-tier policing,&rdquo; noting the leniency with which the police deal with violent Muslim and immigrant offenders in contrast to the harsh response they tend to have with native Britons.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, as video footage online has shown in recent days, large gangs of armed Muslim men have gathered in major cities in recent days to attack anyone perceived to be right-wing or simply white. A group of some 300 Muslim men attacked a pub in Birmingham after mobilizing to counter a&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;far-right&rdquo; protest that never materialized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Just in: <\/p>\n<p>Birmingham, England, Aug . 5 &mdash; Armed &#8220;Muslim patrol&#8221; members surrounded and attacked a pub after marching around the area looking for white right-wingers to attack.

Just consider the overwhelming police response to the &ldquo;far-right&rdquo; side of the unrest. At this point, what the British government is engaged in is best understood as counterinsurgency.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, it&rsquo;s a counterinsurgency directed at Britain&rsquo;s own native population. Hundreds of Britons have already been arrested and more than a hundred have been charged. The entire British government is coming together to crush only the rioters on one side of the unrest. Thousands of police officers have been mobilized across the country. The director of public prosecutions in England and Wales said he was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/world\/rioters-to-face-terror-charges-warns-top-prosecutor\/ar-AA1olL3W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">willing to consider terrorism charges<\/a>&nbsp;for some rioters, and also promised&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/stillgray\/status\/1820911741448188139\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to extradite any social media influencers<\/a>&nbsp;who meet the threshold of incitement in connection to the unrest.<\/p>\n<p>What can explain such a response from Britain&rsquo;s rulers, a state set against its nation? One reason is that Britain leaders long ago discarded the notion of any distinct English ethnic identity in favor of a hazy notion of British-ness that really means &ldquo;anyone who happens to be physically in Britain.&rdquo; That is to say, they decided to ignore entirely the realities of ethnic conflict by denying its existence. As Aris Roussinos&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unherd.com\/2024\/08\/how-britain-ignored-its-ethnic-conflict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">writes in a recent column for Unherd<\/a>, &ldquo;Over the past two decades, a capacious version of Britishness has been constructed around little more than superficial national symbolism and the desire to avoid ethnic conflict, euphemised as &lsquo;British values.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Roussinos goes on to note how ethnic groups are even considered too dangerous to name as such, and are instead termed &ldquo;communities&rdquo; by the ruling class, which prefers to obsess over the politics of race rather than deal with ethnic conflict: &ldquo;Instead of reflecting our lived reality of a country now composed of multiple ethnicities, among which are the majority native British, an entirely artificial racialised binary was constructed for ideological purposes, in which the ethnic British, along with other Europeans, were merely white, while non-white Britons were encouraged to self-identify as a counterbalancing force.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This racial binary is of course nonsense in the context of modern Britain, totally artificial, and now fraying as it comes into contact with reality. The British state has painted itself into a corner and must engage in two-tier policing simply because it is unwilling to manage, or even acknowledge, the ethnic conflict that mass immigration and a lack of assimilation have brought about. Instead, it demonizes the native majority (albeit shrinking) ethnic group while treating immigrant enclaves with kid gloves.<\/p>\n<p>What this means for Britain&rsquo;s ethnic English is that the state is against them, and will give them the hard hand of the law. Also against them is the country&rsquo;s fast-growing Muslim population, which has no interest in British ethnicity or identity, and knows that as things now stand its dominance in Britain is only a matter of time.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      John Daniel Davidson is a senior editor at The Federalist.

Eventually, this leads to public outrage. The liberal establishment in Britain attributes these riots to &#8220;online misinformation&#8221; and racism; however, the true cause lies in decades of betrayal by leaders who have brought in a foreign population that has not integrated, disregarding the preferences of native Britons. This situation inevitably breeds social unrest and conflict.<\/p>\n<p>While a tragic knife attack that resulted in the deaths of three young girls in Southport has been cited as a catalyst for these disturbances, it is crucial to note that the accused assailant is not an immigrant but rather a child of Rwandan immigrants. What matters is that this incident adds to a series of attacks by non-native individuals against locals within an ongoing context of mass immigration. Although officials and media have labeled these protests as &#8220;anti-Muslim&#8221; or &#8220;far-right,&#8221; they are fundamentally anti-immigrant sentiments expressed by demonstrators who chant phrases like \u201cstop the boats\u201d and \u201cwe want our country back,\u201d which reflect legitimate concerns from citizens about their homeland.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Starmer attributes these events solely to racism and Islamophobia, viewing those with such views as national adversaries deserving harsh treatment under law. He has pledged severe consequences for rioters and established what he calls a \u201cstanding army\u201d comprising police and prosecutors ready to act swiftly against both participants in unrest and those inciting it online\u2014an approach reminiscent of how thousands are prosecuted annually for expressing controversial opinions on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, following last week\u2019s riots, police were dispatched door-to-door seeking even those loosely associated with any disorderly conduct. Critics argue that Starmer&#8217;s government practices \u201ctwo-tier policing,\u201d highlighting how violent acts committed by Muslim individuals often receive leniency compared to harsher responses towards native Britons.<\/p>\n<p>Recent footage shows large groups of armed Muslim men gathering in cities targeting anyone perceived as right-wing or simply white; one instance involved around 300 men attacking a pub after rumors circulated about an impending far-right protest that never occurred.<\/p>\n<p>In stark contrast, during these incidents where violence erupted from certain communities, police presence was notably absent\u2014supporting claims regarding unequal enforcement based on ethnicity under Starmer\u2019s administration. The government&#8217;s response appears more aligned with counterinsurgency tactics aimed at its own citizens rather than addressing broader societal issues stemming from mass immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>This disproportionate reaction can be traced back to British leaders&#8217; long-standing dismissal of distinct English ethnic identity in favor of an ambiguous concept termed British-ness\u2014a notion encompassing anyone physically present within Britain while ignoring underlying ethnic tensions altogether. As noted by Aris Roussinos in Unherd, this broad definition fails to acknowledge real ethnic dynamics within society; instead opting for superficial symbols meant only to avoid conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Britain&#8217;s ruling class constructs artificial racial categories devoid of genuine representation or acknowledgment regarding existing ethnic conflicts exacerbated by unchecked immigration policies leading them into increasingly untenable positions requiring biased law enforcement strategies against their own citizens while coddling immigrant communities.<\/p>\n<p>For England&#8217;s native population facing such systemic opposition from both state mechanisms and growing immigrant demographics uninterested in assimilating into British culture or identity\u2014the future seems precarious amid rising tensions fueled further through neglectful governance practices prioritizing ideological narratives over practical realities confronting society today<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":518,"featured_media":2320322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Riots-in-Britain.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[13035,37404,13764],"class_list":["post-2320321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-britain","tag-governing-class","tag-riots"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Riots-in-Britain.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/518"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2320321"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320321\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2320322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2320321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2320321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2320321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
