UK police on Muslim riots

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has assured communities that adequate police presence will be maintained amid rising anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant riots triggered by false social media claims linking the murder of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed event to an Islamist migrant. The unrest has seen rioters targeting mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers, marking the first significant outbreak of violence in the UK in 13 years. Starmer confirmed over 400 arrests have been made, with 100 charges filed, and emphasized that those involved in the disorder would face legal consequences. Concurrently, Scottish First Minister John Swinney expressed solidarity with the Muslim community, stating that the Scottish government is committed to ensuring their safety. He reassured local leaders that Police Scotland is prepared and monitoring social media for potential unrest. The situation has prompted warnings from other countries about traveling to the UK.
