A wave of riots in the UK, with nearly 100 people arrested in connection with protests in 9 cities. The country’s mood is clearly tense on the grounds of identity and religion. There are calls for civil war, while Prime Minister Starmer announces the consequences.
Britain was in the grip of riots following the murder of three girls in Southport. Street protests and clashes spread across the country, and counter-demonstrations also emerged. Demonstrations and fights took place on a large scale, resulting in unprecedented connections and alliances. Irish nationalists with the British during a demonstration in Belfast.
Social tension
The murder of three girls in Southport proved to be a catalyst for a wider response. For a long time, Britain had been unable to cope with its immigrant community, and large sections of British society opposed further influx.
Social conflicts have deep identity roots and are motivated by religion and ideas about how society should function. A large part of the British public is fed up with current policies promoting multiculturalism, which can be illustrated by electoral preferences and the significant increase in the results of the Reform party at the expense of the Conservative Party.
Voices of civil war
The mood in British society is so tense that there are voices that suggest an imminent “civil war”. While such claims may be unrealistic, the wider phenomenon of mass civil unrest in the British Isles should not be ignored. Commentators also point to the basis of the conflict, namely the cultural heterogeneity of their country, which is leading to clashes.
Reaction of the authorities
As reported by Sky, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also spoke out about the unrest that has hit much of the country, announcing that the police have the full support of the government to take all necessary measures to restore order to the streets.
