The UK Independent ran a story yesterday headlined, “No plans to deploy army to quell rioters on UK streets, defence secretary says.” The sub-headline explained, “Prime minister Keir Starmer is holding an emergency meeting as the violence enters its second week.”
Parts of Britain have seen growing riots and protests over the past couple weeks. Initially, British citizens began protesting the country’s illegal immigration policies, after a horrific knife attack left three young girls dead in a dance studio. But now the protests seem to be more about the government’s heavy-handed response to the protests, exposing a two-tiered justice system, especially in light of the 2020’s soft policing of the BLM riots, not to mention any number of unprosecuted immigrant protests since then.
It appears the British are about to get the full ‘January 6th’ treatment. Their flabby new Prime Minister has suddenly learned how to crack down on lawlessness. In a national address, PM Starmer vowed to hunt down the protestors —who’re just regular white folks, not part of any protected political class— to the ends of the Earth:
Like in the U.S., British citizens who were quietly minding their own business suddenly discovered they occupied a lower rung on the justice ladder than other politically favored groups that managed to get their arms around the wheels of government while regular citizens were sleeping.
Time to wake up!
