    The riots do have a racial element I agree. Riots. 
    These turned into riots from peaceful protests by concerned citizens living in poverty. The north of England especially and coastal towns are in a terrible state and people have reached a point of no return. 
    The fat right have jumped on this and made some racial element and violence. Agreed on those counts

    Good to read.

    a - in my opinion - good summary about the riots, the role of the far-right and false internet rumours.

    UK far-right riots: Everything we know – POLITICO

    From this article:

    A 17-year-old male was arrested, and he was later revealed to be born in Cardiff to parents from Rwanda. He has no known links to Islam.

    As is usual under British law for suspects aged under 18, the police did not initially name him. Within hours, social media was awash with false rumors about his background — including that there was an Islamist connection to the killings and that the attacker was an asylum seeker, both of which the police later said weren’t true.

    I read all of that and it's nothing that I don't already know as a citizen of this country I can see it with my eyes.And exactly what I said above about far right . But also in your report there it says of Muslims on the street in big gangs chanting alluah Akbar .
    This is happening on both sides of the divide  . It's not one sided.  Save our children. I agree with this also. A gang of men in Rotherham raped many young girls . You can look it up. And the local community protested peacefully. Stop the boats. Again how is that racist. The people illegally coming into this country are not one colour or religion. They are from all over the world but the key word is ILLEGAL.  And illegal people are committing crimes and have not identification. There are many people who can no longer deal with hotels full of illegals getting free housing and things tax paying citizens cannot access. It's not racist to oppose that.
    The riots are bad and attacking anyone is wrong.  I still don't understand what it is you are saying.

    Where did I say he was Muslim. I started . " It's been reported (on the nationwide emergency news bulletin) that he is the son of Rwandan asylum seekers.

    And now everyone knows who the murderer is so what's the issue. He isn't even human. Should have been shot at the scene

    We kind of agree on the second point (although I in my opinion you are down-playing or underestimating the influence of the far-right.

    BTW: 
    IIRC the Rotherman crime was done by a group of Paskitani who were legally in the UK and had nothing to do with asylum seekers, but I could be wrong.

    Looking at the numbers the UK as legally taken around 180.000 Ukrainian refugees. Since the Russian invasion. No problem. Legally

    What I'm saying is . UK is a small place..very small. There is only a determined number of houses. Doctors hospital schools . There just is . 
    So when you are placing illegal people above the population you already have then the workers who fund it all will reach a point they will react. Now. This is what has been happening since before the election with Nigel farage gathering all the young hopeless people up and giving them a voice.
    This is where all this comes from.
    The murders upset so many parents that then they started wanting someone to blame. The social media made some knee jerk assumptions and that caused trouble I agree  
    There is a bigger picture than the racist attacks on mosques. That's all I'm saying. I'm no more a racist or anti Muslim or any religion. In fact I hate every religion equally.
    In my family . My daughter is homosexual.
    My other daughter is engaged to an Iranian man.
    My partner is Italian. Grandson mixed race.  Every possible mixture of everything.
    I do know that this country has an undercurrent as do most and this is what is happening right now and imperfect storm all came about at that moment

    My reference to this is what I said previously.  Groups of people coming into an area and not respecting the law and rules of a culture and community.  
    Imagine that was your daughter or mother.  Is it going to just be " oh well shit happens". 
     No it's not. And this is what fuels far right idiology. Not in my home you don't.
    Now I can understand that. 
    I would not damage a mosque or be violent but I would be vocal and pissed off a lot.

    Yes some have used this as an excuse to act like idiots but there is a bigger movement happening. Many many non racist citizens have had enough . I don't condone rioting at all .
    The volume of young disillusioned people is massive in  this country and they are protesting. But this gives nut case people a vessel to riot.
    The murders were a catalyst because of false information yes but also these attacks are frequent on soldiers. Old people and children.
    There is a history of other cultures not mixing and committing crime . Look into the rapes in Rotherham. 
    Local people don't want it anymore 
    Nothing to do with race? I don’t know about that.

    so its illegal to claim asylum in uk?
    his parents have been there at least 18 yrs now. what was the disposition of their case? was asylum granted?

    what was going on 20 yrs ago in Rwanda that they felt the need to flee to another country?

    well, the Rwanda genocide happened in the 1990s, but don't know whether this has anything to do with the parents coming to the UK.

    AFAIK there is no indication that the murderer - who was born in the UK - was illegally in the UK.

    The riots started after the murders but there is a mob now from all the other issues. It's like they pulled the cork out of a bottle

    These are not all rasict mobs . It's bigger now it's people who have had enough.
    People who pay high tax to not be able to use the service it is meant to cover. 
    And young girls are attacked and pestered by non English speaking fighting/working aged men being put in hotels for free whilst our youngsters are working min wage to have nothing.
     It's a bad atmosphere here and it will get worse because as you rightly say there are disgusting people now jumping on this and they now have a place to go be violent and rasict.
     Civil war will happen of a fashion. The numbers are too high on both sides for it to blow over
    Conservative governments pride themselves on not raising taxes and/or underfunding public social services; all the while they're funneling tax dollars to their connected people and companies. The pandemic exacerbated the challenges most people were facing and still do. All people should have access to good quality and reliable social and medical services.  Stay safe and kind

    some good news in this terrible story:

    Thousands of anti-racism protesters take to streets across England to counter far-right rallies | UK news | The Guardian

    "Despite the fears of violence and disorder scarring Britain on a scale not seen since the 2011 riots, in the end counter protestors outnumbered those supporting the far right led protests. In some places counter protestors found that no one else on the other side had turned up."
