UK Disorder 2024

In the summer of 2024, United Kingdom erupted in riots that spread from major cities to small towns, shaking the nation to its core. While the spark for these disturbances might have been immediate grievances, the tinderbox had been building for years. These riots are a symptom of deeper issues that have been ignored for too long. Understanding and addressing these underlying causes is essential if we are to move forward as a society.

For years, many people in United Kingdom have voiced concerns about immigration policies and border control.

There is a perception among a significant portion of the population that the government has not done enough to secure the borders, leading to economic strain, cultural tensions, and a feeling of being unheard. This sentiment has been simmering, with communities feeling increasingly marginalised and ignored by those in power.

Successive governments have often promised to tackle these issues but have failed to take substantial action. Instead, they have been accused of playing lip service, making grand promises during election campaigns and then delivering little in the way of real change once in office. This cycle of unfulfilled promises has eroded trust in political leaders and institutions, creating a sense of disillusionment and frustration among the populace.

Another significant factor contributing to the unrest is the perceived inequality in policing. There have been numerous reports and accusations of discrimination within the police force, with officers treating people differently based on their skin colour, background, or nationality. This has fostered a sense of injustice and alienation, particularly among minority communities.

The police are supposed to be protectors of all citizens, yet when certain groups feel targeted or unfairly treated, it undermines the very foundation of trust that law enforcement relies upon. Reforming the police to ensure equal treatment for all is not just a matter of justice but a necessary step towards rebuilding trust and community cohesion.

A Path Forward

To move beyond the riots and address the root causes of this unrest, several steps need to be taken:

Listening to the People: The government must genuinely listen to the concerns of its citizens about immigration and border control. This doesn't mean giving in to xenophobia but rather addressing legitimate concerns about resources, integration, and national security in a balanced and fair manner.

Realistic and Effective Policies: Rather than making empty promises, the government needs to implement realistic and effective policies that can make a tangible difference. This includes investing in border security, streamlining immigration processes, and ensuring that newcomers are supported in integrating into society.

Police Reform: Comprehensive police reform is essential to ensure that all citizens are treated equally under the law. This involves training officers in cultural sensitivity, holding them accountable for discriminatory actions, and fostering a police culture that values equality and justice.

Community Engagement: Building bridges between different communities is crucial. This can be achieved through dialogue, community projects, and initiatives that promote understanding and cooperation between diverse groups.

The riots of 2024 are a wake-up call for United Kingdom. They are a manifestation of deep-seated issues that have been ignored for too long. Addressing these problems requires more than quick fixes or political rhetoric; it demands genuine engagement, realistic policy-making, and a commitment to justice and equality.

Only by taking these steps can we hope to heal the divisions within our society and move forward together. Want to see real change? I strongly encourage each and every one of us to vote for the “Reform Party” it is the only way can get the change we all want.

Wishi Rishi

In the damp halls of Westminster, Rishi doth declare,

A kitchen sink manifesto, promises thin as air.

With pledges vast and hopes contrived,

Yet will it cut through? Few are convinced or revived.

First, to taxes, where illusions lie,

A 2p cut in national insurance, a fleeting sigh.

Income tax for pensioners, a token nod,

Child benefit expansion, a convenient facade.

To education, 'Mickey Mouse' degrees to scrap,

Free childcare, a hollow gift in parents' lap.

In defence, national service for the youth,

An outdated notion, far from the truth.

Defence spending targets for 2030's light,

Promises to bolster, but who believes the sight?

Welfare reforms, twelve billion saved,

Austerity's mask, by new rules engraved.

GPs relieved of sick notes’ chore,

Shifting burdens, nothing more.

Crime's grand plan, eight thousand strong,

Police numbers touted, a familiar song.

Sentences increased, a harsher line,

First and second degree murder, a borrowed design.

Housing hopes with stamp duty's cease,

Up to £425k, a temporary peace.

No-fault evictions to end, they say,

Green belts protected, but for how long, who can say?

Immigration caps, work visas in the fray,

Family reunions slowed, a cynical play.

Illegal routes, Rwanda's talk renewed,

Third countries’ deals, a policy skewed.

ECHR reforms, all options in jest,

Health investments, a strained NHS.

£2.4bn for training, a short-term fix,

Waiting lists to shorten, with AI in the mix.

Social care's echo, Boris’s old tale,

A delayed package, destined to fail.

Net zero claims, with costs to veil,

Promises made, but will they prevail?

Thus, Rishi stands with grand façade,

A nation’s scepticism, the unspoken nod.

Will these pledges sway the day?

Or dissolve like mist at dawn’s first ray?

"Riots are the voice of the unheard"

Is what I've been told to belive until the indigenous people of Britian try to protest.

Unfortunately there are those within that group who want to cause chaos because of actual genuine racism or just want to loot and burn things for the sake of it. With that the media and the far left (one in the same in some cases) are lumping them together to make it seem like the whole message of:

"Better border control now", "We want to be safe in our communities" and "Deport foreign criminals"

Have been turned into vile things like:

"We want only white people in this country"

I understand in addition that the police have caved and let so many riots happen when the people involved have been rooting for things that are fundamentally against the concept of Britiain, it's laws and its people.

We have had protests for a war that has nothing to do with us. The police treated them as if they were fragile children, even when they were commiting vile acts against people and our war monuments.

We have had major scandals like the Rotheram Rape Gangs who have been active for decades but the police didn't do anything because they didn't want to be called racist. In addition they told the victims of the gangs that they must have caused it themselves.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has shown his true colours by basically making it so that turning up to these "far right" protests (and riots) will get you arrested by his new standing army of police. But he says nothing about the roving gangs of Muslim men who have viciously attacked white people purely because of their skin colour. Nor will the police do anything about them.

Police reform needs to be specific:

1. Bring back fitness standards for frontline police. I'm tired of seeing overweight cops struggling to chase a criminal. In addition have no special minimum for female coppers, they must have the same level to be considered frontline. Tiny female police officers are basically easy targets for criminals. Most of the time they cannot even arrest someome by themselves without having a larger stronger person nearby.

2. No more of this political shite. No more pride police cars, no more rainbow patches on uniform, no more kneeling for BLM. Police are there to do one job, enforce the law equally without prejudice.

3. Actually solve crimes again. Many burglaries in the UK have not been solved because they cannot be arsed to actually do their job. However you will be arrested for saying mean things online with the communications act bollocks.

4. Get rid of incompetentancy within the senior staff. Many of the high level staff in policing now are politically in line with the far left and need removing. Replacing them with actual leaders who enforce standards on police that mean they can operate properly.

5. Bring back stop and search. It's not racist if you choose to carry weapons on you all the dam time.

There is so much more that can be done. But these I feel are a good start.
