"In #Britain, the canary has sung. This summer we have witnessed something new and unprecedented. The #billionaire owner of a #tech platform publicly confronting an elected leader and using his platform to undermine his authority and incite #violence. Britain’s 2024 summer #riots were #ElonMusk ’s trial balloon.
He got away with it."

"What the UK experienced in recent weeks was a planned far-right insurrection against the new Labour Government, encouraged by the US far-right and its media channels, signal-boosted by X owner Elon Musk, and manipulated by Russian hybrid warfare.
The instigation of riots was only the first phase of a longer-term strategy of destabilisation."

The new law does not ban the production and #TradeOfAnimals, one of the main sources of population growth. It does not establish an inspection network for cats and dogs abandoned by their owners. It does not impose criminal sanctions for #violence against animals.

"The Christian iconography that has been exploited by the far right is an offence to our faith, and all that Jesus was and is. Let me say clearly now to Christians that they should not be associated with any far-right group – because those groups are unchristian."
~ Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
If anyone connected to any struggle for any minority group is out in the streets protesting or there's anything resembling rioting, it's the fault of the left. The horrible, horrible left, being unruly and violent!
If anyone is out in the streets protesting or rioting for more power to the majority groups, it's the fault of the left. The horrible, horrible left, giving the regular people no other choice than to get unruly and violent!

"Robinson, who left the country last Sunday, has played a significant part in stoking rage, alongside some of his allies, with English nationalist commentary online targeting immigrants, Islam, the government and police."

"The protests erupted in the week after Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, founder of the now defunct anti-Islam, anti-immigrant English Defence League, better known as Tommy Robinson, had held the biggest far-right rally in London for years. Experts in extremism say it buoyed far-right sympathisers."

"Before the suspect’s identity was confirmed — Axel Rudakubana, 17 — far-right influencers and conspiracy theorists had spread disinformation, saying the suspect was a Muslim recently arrived in the UK to claim asylum. They have used public horror at the knife attack to whip up tension between communities, stoke anger at immigration and spread Islamophobic sentiment."

"England is experiencing an eruption of anti-immigrant and far-right violence the likes of which has not been seen for years. Towns and cities have been overtaken by mobs of often masked men chanting anti-immigrant slogans, attacking hotels housing asylum seekers and mosques, clashing with police and causing widespread destruction."

"A far-right-led mob of masked rioters tried to set fire to a hotel housing asylum seekers as further violence flared across the country at anti-immigration protests.
Some 700 people gathered outside the Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham, before clashing with police. Some rioters hurled pieces of wood, bottles and chairs, and sprayed fire extinguishers at police officers."

"The Commons standards watchdog should ho'dangerous comments' following the week’s violent disorder in the wake of the Southport murders, a Liverpool MP has said.
Kim Johnson, Labour MP for Liverpool Riverside, said Farage’s comments 'cannot be left to fester' and should be examined by the parliamentary standards commissioner."
~ Aletha Adu and Rowena Mason
"The Conservative government left the UK wide open to the far-right violence erupting across parts of the country by ignoring red flags and stoking fires with a culture war agenda, a senior adviser on extremism to Tory prime ministers [Dame Sara Khan] has said."
~ Daniel Boffey
"By publicly questioning whether the truth was 'being withheld from us', Mr Farage disgracefully lent credence to the incendiary notion that the authorities were concealing facts. Nor is there any question about the contribution of social media, where these dangerous ingredients were shaken and stirred."
"The riots that have spread across the UK from Southport since Tuesday are the effect of a cocktail of anti-immigrant, far-right views mixed with lies about a traumatic news event, gulped down by violent thugs. It is hard to unpick precisely how falsehoods, including that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker, were invented and spread. But there is no doubt about the malign role of public figures including Nigel Farage."
~ The Guardian
Kim Johnson, Labour MP for Liverpool Riverside: “Nigel Farage’s dangerous comments cannot be left to fester. He is the voice of the EDL [English Defence League] in parliament, using his platform to spread fear and misinformation."

"Trump is temperamentally incapable of responding to the prospect of defeat by broadening his appeal, and Republicans are structurally incapable of deposing Trump as a chastened peace offering to the country. They will see only one option, and it will be to intimidate and demoralize the anti-Trump movement all over again."
