The Liberal Party views with disgust and anger the continued civil violence and mindless destruction currently gripping several urban areas in the UK.
The party believes that a senseless minority, driven by largely imaginary grievances have exploited contentious issues such as immigration and attempted to vilify asylum seekers and minority groups most specifically, Muslims.
Those fermenting such actions have become embolden by the previous failure of the police and government to contain protest matches at the tail end of the Covid lockdown and to deal firmly but fairly with quasi-legal assembles and marches.
Whilst social media has been used to mobilise local marches and gathering there is no evidence of a systematic attempt to organise the wave of violence the country is experiencing.
We view with pride the response of many communities caught in the crossfire as they attempt to repair and renew after the senseless destruction of vehicles and property.
