Previously, three British children in July were stabbed to death by a British native of Rwandan decent. After that ignited protests, Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for a mass crackdown on any Brit who supports demonstrations against immigrant communities.Previously, three British children in July were stabbed to death by a British native of Rwandan decent.

Starmer’s pledge applied to any call for violence — in person or online — and as of Wednesday more than 1K people had been arrested for acts against Muslim and other foreign communities. Nearly 600 have been charged, with that number rising daily.Starmer’s pledge to address the riots applied to any call for violence — in person or online — and as of Wednesday more than 1K people had been arrested for acts against Muslim and other foreign communities.

The UK's dark underbelly of racism has been raging out of control, so obviously the government must prosecute bigotsthose behind any violence to the full extent of the law. Arrests alone, however, won't solve the social problems that plague UK society. In addition to incarcerating those who engage in anti-immigrant and violent behavior, the UK must invest time and resources into educating Brits while promoting empathy and tolerance toward immigrant communities.
This is the UK’s two-tiered justice system on full display, as the government callously cracks down on disaffected British patriots and turns a blind eye to migrant crime. For decades, the British people have voiced their concerns over an unending wave of immigration that has led to a massive rise in violent crime. Instead of listening to its citizens, the government has criminalized dissent.
