UK riots flare in another UK city following misinformation about Southport stabbing • FRANCE 24

Rioting erupted Friday evening in Sunderland, northeast England, where police said officers faced “serious and sustained levels of violence”, the latest unrest linked to a mass stabbing earlier this week that killed three young girls. Far-right elements have been blamed for the disturbances in the aftermath of the stabbing spree targeting children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. Officials have said online disinformation about the British-born 17-year-old suspect Axel Rudakubana helped fuel the unrest. Story by Liza Kaminov.

  1. It's interesting to me as a descendant of immigrants, how the French media is so quick to demonise working class white British people. We have had a solider almost stabbed to death and three children butchered in this country by migrants. The way the establishment media is quick to portray these rioters as the most crucial problem is striking.

  2. Divide and Conquer. If people would know the Truth, they'd lynch the establishment on the streets tomorrow. A simplification of a quote of one of their own. They shall rule and divide us but their time also shall be short. For those who care, it's biblical, as hard it is to believe it is so.

  3. Foreign workers come to the UK on skilled work visa pay double NHS tax (one upon the application of visa and not refundable even when the person didn't actually come to the UK; one as tax of work) and all the taxes as UK citizen, but with no right of public fund. This is priority of tax. Meanwhile, there are people (I don't know there nationality and visa type) who live on free housing and public fund.

  4. Triggered by misinformation, but the root cause has been building up for years. Government eager to take advantage and bring in new laws. Makes u wonder who started the misinformation

  5. Not to mention Lt Col Mark Teeton who was stabbed 12 times with a sword just days before. The perpetrator licked blood off the sword. British people have had enough. France should be ashamed for assisting so many illegal boats to cross the channel so don't you dare jump on a far right bandwagon.

  6. Well done France 24 for saying 'these are anti immigrant protesters', every English news channel is saying far right which is totally untrue, lies spread by the media are igniting the Muslim community.

  7. The largest purveyor of misinformation and disinformation in my country of Canada is the federal Liberal party and their paid off cronies in the media (600 million dollars last year alone, plus the 1 billion or so to the state broadcaster). I'm going to take a wild guess and say its the same on the other side of the pond.

  8. Not Far Right, but not surprising from a socialist broadcaster. And these riots are about so much more than misinformation. It's vecause the people have been pushed too far, trodden on, and squeezed to such a drastic reaction. There are thugs on any political side. Look at just stop oil, etc, but because these causes are sponsored by the Open Society and elite cronies, it's acceptable. Your reporting is very one dimensional. Pathetic socialist propoganda

  9. From an outside perspective this looks to be about a lot more than just being Muslim, compared to the way other countries treat Muslims this stabbing is still treated like a non issue to those that are governing this place, regardless if he's a migrant or white there still intentionally leaving out vital information that is manipulating the public and should be considered journalistic malpractice.

  10. Kids got stabbed. People lashing out thinking the culprit is a Muslim immgirant but it is a random UK kid. Media classifying everyone as far right. This is nothing but dumb.
