I am going to regret asking this I am sure, but what in the world is happening in ?

I feel like labelling it far-right protests seem simplistic

Ps: I just want to add lest I am misunderstood, that I think migrants are being an easy target for the frustration bubbling in Britain. Just exactly what that frustration is I am not very clear ...

@liztai Grifting arseholes fomenting pointless hate to get themselves attention and money.
The end of 13 years of disaster capitalists in Con governments asset stripping the country and fomenting hate to get attention and money for themselves because they don't know how to govern decently.
Horrible press (outside owners) fomenting hate.
This isn't "economic unrest". The cause is calculated manipulation.

@emmaaum hi sorry, do u mean the grifting arseholes is the govt or...? Sorry I wasn't sure who you meant 😅

@liztai @emmaaum some of the grifting arseholes were in the government, one of them is currently licking Trump's arse and another one is on the run, sunning himself in Cyprus and is really annoyed that he's been outed by the grifters favourite newspaper.
One thing to be aware of is that the rioters are an infinitesimally small proportion of the population and are the type of obnoxiously odious tossers that the majority of us avoid like the plague. The rioting is them having a tantrum.
