UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer issued a stern warning on Sunday, August 4, to far-right protesters involved in England’s most severe rioting in 13 years, stating they would “regret” their actions. The unrest, which has spread across the country for five consecutive days, is linked to the recent murder of three children.
In Rotherham, South Yorkshire, masked anti-immigration demonstrators vandalized a hotel housing asylum seekers, smashing several windows. The violence, fueled by misinformation surrounding a mass stabbing in Southport, a seaside town in northwestern England, has sparked clashes between anti-immigration protesters and police in multiple towns and cities.

The ongoing violence presents a significant challenge for Starmer, who assumed office just a month ago following Labour’s landslide victory over the Conservatives. In a televised address, Starmer warned, “I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or as someone inciting it online and then fleeing.” He emphasized that there was “no justification” for what he described as “far-right thuggery” and vowed to bring those responsible “to justice.”
