British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing his first crisis since being elected on July 4. Groups of white men, many who are products of generational reliance on the welfare state, have taken to the streets to engage in violent protests against immigration. The spark that lit the fire of violence was the murder of three young girls in Southport in northern England (a subsidiary country of the United Kingdom).
On July 29, a 17-year-old British man of Somali ancestry attacked a dance workshop, killing the girls and wounding others. The young man probably suffers from mental illness. But rumors immediately spread that the assailant was either a recently arrived asylum-seeker or a radicalized Muslim. The rumors were not true. The protesters don’t care.
