Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the creation of a “standing army” of specialized police to address the violence and mob action in several British towns over the past week. He also said he would make the criminal justice system stronger so that it could handle all the arrests that the new “standing army” of riot cops would make.
Starmer called an emergency meeting to discuss the killing of three girls and the injuries of ten others during a stabbing spree at a dance class, which he referred to as “far-right thuggery” due to false information on social media. There were attacks on immigrants and churches because of false online reports that the suspect was a Muslim asylum seeker.
“This is not a protest, no matter what the reason seems to be.” Starmer said, “This is pure violence, and we will not stand for attacks on churches or our Muslim neighborhoods.” “Those found to have participated in these actions will face the full force of the law.”
The murderer was born in the United Kingdom to Rwandan parents. British rules kept the identities of minor offenders secret but not the lives of British children, which fed the “asylum-seeker” story.
Riots have broken out in a number of British towns, with British citizens demanding justice for the dead and an end to Britain’s open immigration policy going up against groups of immigrants.
The treatment of immigrants preferentially, the failure to stop illegal immigration (stop me if any of this sounds familiar), and the growing minority of immigrants who refuse to integrate and even show hostility towards their host country are causing lower and middle-class Britons to become increasingly angry. The stabbings have made this anger clear. Margaret Thatcher’s words about Islamism after 9/11, “We have harbored those who hate us, tolerate those who threatened us, and indulge those who weaken us,” accurately describe the situation that different British governments have created by welcoming illegal immigrants and allowing parallel institutions to grow.
The killing of three girls, ages 6, 7, and 9, and the serious injuries to five children and two adults have done something that was previously unimaginable.
Prime Minister Starmer quickly chose a side and didn’t pay attention to the crowds that had gathered on the other side.
“You can’t fix that problem overnight, and I think it will be hard for the system to handle the increase in demand that we’ll likely see because of this disorder,” Rowland said.
“Starmer has turned down calls to call a new session of Parliament or send in the army to deal with the situation. His office said that the cops could handle the chaos.
“Starmer told ministers and top police officials that social media companies have not done enough to stop the spread of false information that has led to violence on the far right. He also promised that anyone who stirs up trouble, whether online or in public, could go to jail, a spokesperson said. Some of that false and inaccurate information comes from other countries.
It’s hard to see how Starmer wants to add more cops to Britain when people can already go to jail for a Facebook post or pray in a “no-prayer” zone. It’s also unclear what this “standing army” of cops will look like. Will the individual taking over for Hugo Boss be responsible for creating their stylish uniforms? Will the strong court system that was built to deal with the issue graduate from the Roland Freisler School of Law?
The British government is to blame for the riots that are happening right now. The response that Prime Minister Starmer hinted at could significantly impact the current situation.
