This chapter delves into the rise of violent uprisings in England, primarily fueled by the ethnic British population's reactions to non-British migrants. It analyzes the complexities of ethnic identity within the context of historical and contemporary immigration, emphasizing the limitations of simplistic categorizations like BAME. The discussion culminates in a critique of current immigration policies and the impact of such classifications on societal tensions, drawing parallels to global ethnic conflicts.
Riots that began in Southport last week have since spread to London, Rotherham, Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Bolton and Northern Ireland.

He spoke to Freddie Sayers about what he saw and how civil clashes might change the future of the UK.
