What’s going on with the riots in England?

Published August 5, 2024 2:58pm ET



Cities and towns across England, a subordinate country within the United Kingdom, have suffered days of rioting by large groups of predominantly white men. Some American conservatives are lending support to the rioters in the belief that they are legitimately protesting immigration laws and the destruction of traditional English values.

Such support is delusional. These rioters are not patriots, they are criminal thugs. The same is true of the smaller number of Islamist men who have targeted and attacked white protesters.
