The United Kingdom is burning in the riots. This kind of worst riot took place in the UK after 13 years. It is spread across the country. The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, condemned these riots and said necessary actions would be taken. He called these UK riots far-right thuggery. More than 150 people have been arrested by the police. The riots are associated with the child murders that happened on Monday, last week.
Knife attack on children: Reason for UK riots
A few days ago, in a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on Hart Street in Southpole, a teenage boy attacked the children with a knife. Three children were killed: Bebe King (6), Elsie Dot Stancombe (7), and Alice Dasilva Aguiar (9). Also, 8 children were injured in this incident. Two adults were also injured when they were trying to save the children from this brutal attack.
The misinformation spread across the internet. It is said that the attacker involved in the knife attack is a muslim immigrant. His name is Ali. So, the far-rightist group started the protests against the Muslim immigrants. They threw chairs and bottles at the shops of Muslim owners. On the other hand, non-white people also have anti-racism rallies, which lead to conflict between them and far-right protests.
However, the police said that suspect Axel Rudakubana was born in Wales. His parents belong to Rwanda.
