it's not clear to me which party here is worse, the rioters or the prime minister.

we don't yet have a clear motive for the stabbing, but the individual does appear to have been a muslim, and it is an open question if his religion played a role in his behaviour.

this is a valid question facing british society, which is overwhelmingly secular and largely atheist. is too much immigration bringing people with unwanted beliefs and values into the country?

however, rioting and breaking stuff doesn't help, and this kneejerk liberal reaction by starmer is no better and no more helpful. reducing immigration levels or making it more difficult to enter britain is a valid policy discussion and one that is long overdue in britain.
