Topics
Keir Starmer: 近期英国多地发生骚乱,暴徒攻击穆斯林社区、清真寺及其他少数族裔,并伴随种族主义言论,这属于极右翼的暴行。 Robin Vinter: 英国近期发生的骚乱源于一起刺伤事件的错误信息传播,煽动了反移民情绪,导致极右翼分子发起暴力抗议。骚乱参与者表达了反移民情绪,认为寻求庇护者待遇优于英国人,并存在一些谣言和阴谋论在传播。虚假信息和煽动性言论在骚乱中扮演了关键角色,加剧了社会矛盾,并存在“双重标准执法”的阴谋论。尽管短期内骚乱可能平息,但潜在的社会矛盾和反移民情绪不会消失,这需要长期解决。首相Keir Starmer处理骚乱的方式与2011年类似,迅速逮捕和起诉参与者。
