Who is protesting in the streets of England?
The BBC claims that cyberspace lies are causing riots in England, and "drunk" people are joining the demonstrations. But the New York Times notes that the livelihood crisis and economic problems are the reason for the protests.
The riots in England are getting bigger every day. By the way, the reaction of the English-language media gives reason to think. According to those media in an article entitled "What is happening on the streets of England", which we will present below.
Reuters. More than 1,000 people were arrested
According to the British news agency Reuters, after the start of protests in England, "the British government arrested more than 1,000 protesters, including a 13-year-old girl." In 2011, Britain arrested 4,000 people in just one week to quell the riots.”
BBC: Protesters are terrorists
The British government and its media, especially the BBC organization, try to present the protests in this way. "Extreme right-wing insurgents, under the influence of cyberspace lies, are rioting."
BBC wrote: "Online lies aggravated the situation. The main instigators of the riots used social networks and messengers to spread hate and to decide the time and place of demonstrations. A violent crowd attacked the place of residence of immigrants. The Prime Minister has stated that the instigator of these disturbances is the extreme right-wing movement."
Continuing the attack on the protesters, the BBC said: "The far-right current includes genocidal Nazis, whom the government considers terrorists. They want to destroy society. Some of the rioters were criminals and thieves, and some were drunkards who joined the riots. It's enough to be online for extremism to get to you."
The Guardian. Sue the owner of Twitter
In this regard, the British Guardian newspaper believes that Elon Musk should be judged as the author of riots, because he owns Twitter. The Guardian noted in another article: "6,000 special forces have gone to the streets to suppress the protests."
New York Times. Economic problems are the reason for the protests
The American newspaper New York Times writes in an article entitled "The riots against immigrants in Britain: a vital test for Starmer (British Prime Minister)". "The mess in public services and the crisis in living costs are creating the basis for these disturbances." Citing Professor Stephen Fielding, emeritus lecturer in political history at the University of Nottingham, The New York Times said the riots took place in parts of Britain that have long been in economic recession.
The New York Times wrote about Prime Minister Starmer's record of suppressing protests in England. "When he in 2011 working as a senior prosecutor, after the riots took place he tried to quickly prosecute and imprison the perpetrators of the riots."
According to the New York Times, Starmer's former policy manager Claire Ainslie said: "It is a wrong idea to think that all the people involved in the riots are against immigrants. The good economic situation and the well-being of people's lives make the far-right less influential, something that we do not see in the economic situation in Britain today."
This American media reports: "Britain desperately needs foreign workers for economic growth and cannot cut them."
