Op-ed on social media and UK riots published on LBC Views

Van on fire during the 2024 Southport Riots CC BY 3.0

I have had an op-ed published on LBC Views yesterday.

I also argued that politicians and public figures who have created a toxic discourse around immigration need to take some of the blame for the civil unrest too.
