Riots across Britain.

 The last few days there have been coordinate riots across the country - from Liverpool, Southport, Aldershot and Sunderland. The initial cause was the killing of three young children and others seriously wounded on Monday. Some have suggested, hostile states are acting to promote the violence. In addition many police have been injured in these riots and social disturbance. The street thugs and extreme right wing are demonstrating against - too much uncontrolled and illegal immigration. In particular - those crossing the English Channel on small boats. This is for them a touchstone issue. These are the disenfranchised working class, who feel abandoned by the Whitehall elite and ruling class. The 14 years of Conservative Party - rule hasn't helped the situation. Unless the government can demonstrate it has - taken back control - then these riots will continue. This is a real test for Keir Starmer leadership and he cannot afford to fail his first real test.
