Who Are the Far-Right Groups Behind the U.K. Riots?

The violence has been driven by online disinformation and extremist right-wing groups intent on creating disorder after a deadly knife attack on a children’s event in northwestern England, experts said.A range of far-right factions and individuals, including neo-Nazis, violent soccer fans and anti-Muslim campaigners, have promoted and taken part in the unrest, which has also been stoked by online influencers.

I’ve said this before, I’ll just copy/paste it here:

This article talks a lot about the violence and reaction.

Some might be people who’ve got genuine concerns.

What are the concerns?
The BLM protests have clear concerns. Just stop oil, existential rebellion have clear concerns. Occupy wall street have clear concerns. Hell, even the Jan 6th capitol rioters had clear concerns, even if it was clearly manufactured disinformation causing those concerns.
Those are protests. Some got out of hand, some went too far. But still protests.

As a genuine question, what concern is this violence protesting?
What turned this protest into violence?
Or was it just a rammy?

It’s clearly anti-immigrant and racist.

I see it more as anti-muslim. To be racist, the agenda should be about supremacy of one “kind” of people over another, and here we see a cultural/religion clash.

No they are not protests you complete gimp. They are hard right racist fascists being hard right racist fascists. They do this its what they live for.

They spend their entire times looking for excuses to be violent. Remember the London riots? They don’t care about what happened most of them don’t even really understand what happened they just use it as an excuse to be violent.

Go defend them somewhere else. And the January 6th people were also fascists.

whos defending them?

towerful ,

I’m not defending anyone.

This strikes me as manufactured violence triggered in a section of society that has been manipulated to an extreme.

They sure showed that library. Well done lads.

echodot ,

Now they won’t have to read any of those scary books.

Oh riiight of course! Its not islamophobia, xenophobia or racism! These lads just have a lot of economic anxiety!

And here was me thinking they wanted to burn down mosques because they hate muslims! Oh how stupid I was!

Clearly if it wasn’t for the price of petrol, rent and Big Macs, these economically anxious upstanding citizens would want to just give every immigrant and every muslim a great big hug!

echodot ,

Oh yeah that’s why they were burning cars and smashing people’s windows because of economic factors, sure yeah and not because they’re racist shitheads.

You need to go get a bit more training in been a bot, because that was pathetic
