Visibility of Violence Shapes Public Sentiment
Rising tensions among the British public are largely fueled by a perceived lack of accountability in incidents involving migrants and apparent acts of violence, particularly against military and public symbols. The neglect of serious attacks, like the stabbing of an army officer, and the absence of significant media coverage contribute to a sense of frustration. This build-up of events, including worsening relations following significant geopolitical disturbances, underscores an escalating sensitivity to public safety and law enforcement's response to acts of violence and public demonstrations, affecting overall societal sentiment toward migration and security.
