The post-Southport riots
by Canon Chris Sugden:
As I see it, these riots express the stoked up resentment of the ‘poor’, the British working class – a phrase not much used these days. The lid has been blown off it by the murder of three little girls at a dance class by the son of an immigrant family to whom the country had given a welcome.
The rioters see soft and even preferential treatment being given to immigrants and asylum seekers being put up at public expense in hotels. True, many do jobs for pay the Brits do not want to do, but that’s the point – if the immigrants were not there to do them at rock bottom rates then they would take the jobs.
If anyone objects, the liberal elite call them racist etc. They think no one speaks for them or listens to them.
But do we see reciprocal fairness towards westerners in Muslim countries? No we do not.
These are the people whose fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought in world wars for the freedom and subsequent independence from Moslem (Turkish) and Fascist Dictatorship. They must be at least understood. This is no excuse for violence but the media and liberal elite who experience none of this must understand before they proceed to condemn.
