On the evening of August 4th local time, the UK once again experienced a night of chaos and violence. A hotel that accommodates immigrants in Rotherham and Tamworth was burned down by so-called protesters.

It was reported that a large group of people appeared near the hotel, throwing objects, smashing windows and throwing torches into the room. They also attacked the police who came to stop the violence. One police officer was injured in the chaos.

It is said that the conflict continued until late at night. The police had been trying to disperse the unscrupulous thugs, while the people in the hotel were nervously watching the developments outside but did not dare to leave the hotel.

According to British media, the immigrant hotel that was burned that day was the second hotel to be burned in recent days. The attack that occurred in Southport last Monday (July 29) (which resulted in the death of three girls) led to riots in the area, and the 17-year-old suspect's identity as a descendant of immigrants became the "fuse".

Subsequently, violent protests suspected to be targeting other races broke out in many places in the UK, and there were also acts of looting and smashing during the protests, causing serious losses to some shops.

According to reports, these protesters stopped vehicles on the streets and checked the drivers' identities. "Only white British people could pass smoothly."

Two Filipino female nurses became "victims". They were rushing to work in different taxis and were stopped on the same road. When some protesters saw them, they started throwing stones and small fireworks at them. Both of them were terrified by such an experience.

The Mirror newspaper in the UK called the riots in various parts of the UK "Britain's shame" and believed that the situation had devolved into such a state of being out of control, which had little to do with the unfortunate experience of the three little girls. "The thugs just wanted to create chaos. The Southport incident was just an excuse. They have no so-called justice in their hearts."

Keir Starmer, the new British Prime Minister who has just taken office, announced an emergency "Cobra meeting" to deal with the violence across the country. Starmer issued a statement saying: "I promise you will regret your participation in this." "Whether it is direct participation, or people who incite this action online and then run away. This is not a protest. This is an organized violent atrocity. "There is no doubt that those who participate in violence will be subject to the full sanctions of the law. The police will arrest suspects. Suspects will be detained and subsequently charged and convicted. "

The participants here were emotionally destroying things on the streets and were then arrested in batches, while the people who instigated them behind the scenes were enjoying themselves.

Tommy Robinson, the former leader of the far-right English Defence League, is reportedly living in a five-star hotel in Cyprus, enjoying the sunshine with his family in safety, despite an arrest warrant being issued for him by the UK.

While abroad, Robinson continued to post inflammatory posts on social media, instigating his followers to take to the streets to protest against "injustice."
