The Spin
Left narrative
People came out to show that racism has no place in Britain. If it rears its ugly head, the people of this country will stand up to oppose it. Diversity is this country's strength and instead of being hated, it should be celebrated.
Right narrative
By vowing a strong response to the violence that erupted, the government is ignoring the fundamental roots of the problem. A lot of people are unhappy about the mass levels of migration to their communities and unless addressed, more eruptions of anger are likely.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 61% chance that the UK will join the European Economic Area before 2040, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
