It’s been slightly more than a month since the riots in the UK which happened from 30 July to 5 August 2024. The riots were far-right and targeted immigrants, Muslims and refugees, among others. Throughout the riots, there were racist attacks – both verbal and physically violent – arson and looting. This was considered to be the worst instance of social unrest in the UK in over a decade.
So, why did it happen? And what can we learn from it?
Katy Brown is an expert in far-right movements in the UK and Europe. In this episode, we speak to her about the root causes that ultimately triggered the riots, and what can be done to prevent this from happening again.
