British Prime Minister Branded 'Two-Tier Keir' Amid Muslim Riots
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has come under fire, being branded 'Two-Tier Keir' as riots again erupted across the UK, with Muslim protesters wielding machetes and swords. The unrest, which has gripped several major cities, has sparked a national debate on law enforcement, community relations, and the government's response to escalating violence.

The riots began following heightened tensions within the Muslim community, which quickly escalated into widespread violence. Disturbing scenes have been reported in cities such as Birmingham, London, Plymouth, Bolton, Middlesbourgh and Manchester, where groups of men have taken to the streets, brandishing weapons and clashing with anyone standing in their way or resembling what they call a British Patriot.

Critics have accused Prime Minister Starmer of a lacklustre response, leading to the moniker 'Two-Tier Keir.' Opponents argue that his approach to handling the riots has exposed a double standard in addressing violence, particularly in relation to different communities. The criticism suggests that there has been a failure to apply the law evenly across all groups, leading to perceptions of favouritism or leniency in certain cases.
In response to the crisis, Starmer convened an emergency COBRA meeting to address the violence and coordinate a comprehensive response with police chiefs and ministers. Following the meeting, he emphasised that the law applies equally to all individuals, regardless of whether offenses occur online or offline.
"Anyone inciting violence, whether in person or online, will face the full force of the law," Starmer stated. "We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour in our society. Arrests will be made, and those responsible will be prosecuted."
Despite these assurances, the criticism has persisted, with many calling for more immediate and decisive action. Social media has been awash with images and videos of the chaos, fuelling public outrage and demands for accountability.
The Home Secretary echoed the Prime Minister's sentiments, stating, "We are working closely with law enforcement to ensure that those responsible for these violent acts are brought to justice. Social media platforms must also take responsibility for preventing the spread of inflammatory content that incites such violence."

As the situation develops, the government faces mounting pressure to restore order and address the underlying causes of the unrest. The coming days will be crucial in determining the effectiveness of the response and the impact on public confidence in the administration's ability to maintain peace and security in the UK.
Meanwhile the main stream British media have been accused of biased reporting.
Sky News Removes Live Footage of Reporter Confronted by Muslim Gangs Amid Violent Riots
In a dramatic and alarming incident, Sky News removed live footage showing their reporter being confronted by Muslim gangs during ongoing riots across the UK. The broadcast, which captured escalating violence and tension, was abruptly cut after the gangs confronted the reporter and stabbed the tyres of the news crew’s transport. Moments later, a young man carrying a sword was seen walking by in the background.

I can’t believed they actually aired this ‼️ pic.twitter.com/pqVe1fS9Vy
The confrontation occurred as the reporter was covering the riots that have erupted in multiple cities, including London, Birmingham, and Manchester. The violence has been characterized by groups of men, some wielding machetes and swords, clashing with law enforcement and causing widespread panic.
The footage, initially aired live, showed the reporter attempting to conduct an on-the-ground report when a group of men approached aggressively. As the tension escalated, the situation quickly became hostile, forcing the news crew to retreat. The live broadcast captured the moment when the gangs stabbed the vehicle's tyres, rendering it immobile. The camera also caught a chilling image of a youth casually walking past, carrying a sword.
Sky News faced immediate backlash on social media for cutting the live feed, with many viewers accusing the network of censorship and failing to show the full extent of the violence. Critics argue that such actions prevent the public from understanding the true severity of the situation and undermine journalistic transparency.
In response to the criticism, a spokesperson for Sky News stated, "Our primary concern is always the safety of our journalists and crew. The situation on the ground became volatile, and our team had to make a quick decision to ensure their safety. We remain committed to providing accurate and comprehensive coverage of the events as they unfold."
The incident highlights the increasing danger faced by journalists covering the riots and the growing challenge of reporting amidst such chaos. The violence, which has seen Muslim protesters taking to the streets with weapons, has raised significant concerns about public safety and the effectiveness of law enforcement in managing the crisis.
Authorities have condemned the riots and vowed to take strong action against those responsible. Prime Minister Keir Starmer reiterated his stance that all forms of violence would be met with the full force of the law, whether committed online or offline.
"Violence and intimidation have no place in our society. We are working closely with law enforcement agencies to restore order and bring those responsible to justice," Starmer said in a statement.
As the situation continues to evolve, news organizations and the public alike are grappling with the realities of reporting and responding to unprecedented levels of civil unrest in the UK.
