Far-right groups in the UK show fragmented yet powerful mobilization

A month after the summer riots in Britain, peace has returned. The clashes were sparked by false reports from far-right networks attributing a tragic incident to a Muslim immigrant, causing chaos. With over 1,000 arrests and 200 convictions, the government tackled the unrest.

Despite the turmoil, anti-racist groups stood against Islamophobia and racism, denouncing the riots. Prime Minister Keir Starmer admits to societal flaws but vows to navigate politics differently after the events.

The far-right’s ability to incite violence and manipulate the public through social media is evident. While not a significant political force, factions like Reform UK and others spread hate and xenophobia, targeting white males.
