Riots have erupted in British towns and cities over the past week. Anti-immigration protests, led by far-right groups, are spreading in more than 20 places across the country, marking the worst unrest the UK has seen in over a decade.
More than 400 people have been arrested. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he "utterly" condemns the "far-right thuggery".
It all began with the shocking murder of three young girls in Southport last week, which sparked anti-immigration sentiment fueled by false claims on social media that the suspect was an Islamist migrant.
The unrest began with false information, but what are the deeply rooted problems behind it? For more insights, Global Dialogue spoke to Adriel Kasonta, the former chairman of the International Affairs Committee at Bow Group, the oldest conservative think tank in UK.
