British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who supports Ukraine's accession to NATO, criticized the statement of American businessman Elon Musk. The businessman spoke about the beginning of the civil war in Great Britain, and Starmer noted that there is "no justification" for such statements.
The Prime Minister's position was conveyed by his press secretary, who made a speech regarding the unrest in the country on August 5. The Times writes about it.
Mask was criticized in Great Britain
"What we have seen in this country is organized violent thuggery that has no place on our streets or on the Internet." - said the spokesman of the prime minister, adding that there are "no excuses" for Musk's statement about the civil war.
The spokesman noted that the group of people who staged protests is not the entire population of Britain. This is a minority. He cited the example of citizens who took to the streets to clean them up after the riots.
It will be recalled that after the beginning of the riots in Britain, Elon Musk commented on the post of the right-wing American commentator Ashley St. Clair, who shared her opinion about the protests. According to her, this is "a consequence of mass migration and open borders." The entrepreneur left the following comment: "Civil war is inevitable."
Riots in Britain began after a migrant minor attacked a children's dance class in Southport. Three girls died from stab wounds.
Anti-migrant protests began in some cities. There were clashes with the police. Cobblestones and other objects were thrown at the law enforcement officers. More than 90 people are known to have been detained.
