British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been quite clear and vocally aggressive about cracking down on the dangerous rioters in Britain.
Of course, there are rioters, and then there are rioters. There are dangerous people, and then there are dangerous people. I doubt that Starmer was referencing the machete-wielding gangs hunting for people protesting the deaths of the three little girls last week. He probably is not referencing the people who have made no-go zones a necessity, desecrated war memorials, randomly attacked people, or sexually assaulted women. And he probably is not thinking about Sky News reporter Becky Johnson.
Johnson was on the scene of a Birmingham counter-protest to the anti-immigration demonstrations yesterday. The Daily Caller reports that a mob of masked people shouting obscenities surrounded Johnson. The mob reportedly attacked the news vehicles. Were these angry native Brits waving Union Jacks and St. George crosses?
No. The mob in question had broken away from a larger group of Muslims and were shouting "Allahu-Akbar" and "Free Palestine." And the obscenities mentioned above. One person even made a "trigger finger" gesture.

One of the protesters said, “Free Palestine, f**k the media,” as other protesters with their faces covered began to surround her.

Scenes like that do not seem to concern the PM or his allies. Neither do scenes like this:

But it’s okay because the government says it’s protecting mosques from an organisation that hasn't existed in ten years
This is going to get much worse

Yesterday's chaos was not limited to the ill-fated Sky News live shot.
According to GB News, the mob had assembled because of a false report that "far right" protesters were planning to gather in Birmingham. The mob began to march down the streets. They were so aggressive that the assistant manager of the Clumsy Swan Pub in Yardley got people inside and barricaded the doors:
We knew the march was coming down Stoney Lane. So I just got all the customers in, got the stores in, and everything, and locked up the pub. Unfortunately, one of our customers did get out. He got hit a couple of times, and it just escalated from there. So they tried to boot the door in, broke the glass, broke the handle off, and just tried to intimidate everybody. It was scary, I've got kids in there. It was karaoke. There was children in there, stuff in there, everything. It was really scary.
Starmer and his fellows, including his media allies, are only concerned with "violence" and "mobs" that fit a convenient demographic. The British government has long turned a blind eye to the depredations that native Brits have suffered at the hands of migrants.
Does any of this sound familiar? The UK did not learn anything from the riots in the U.S., and the federal, state, and local governments in the U.S. will not learn anything from the developments in the UK. They will do everything possible to keep the preferred narrative alive as the nations burn.
