Who are protesting in British streets?

Pars Today- The British royal media, BBC, claims that the lies on cyberspace are the cause of riot in the country and "drunkards" are the demonstrators. But, New York Times says that the crisis of life costs and economic woes have caused protests.

Riots in Britain are gaining new dimensions on a daily basis. However, the reaction of English language media to these events is worth reflection. Pars Today, quoting from Fars news agency, has addressed the issue:

Reuters: More than 1,000 have been arrested

According to the British news agency, Reuters, after the start of protests in the UK, "The British government has arrested more than 1,000 protesters among which a 13-year-old girl can be seen. Britain had arrested 4,000 just in a week to suppress riots in 2011.

BBC: Protesters are terrorists

The British government and its media, especially the BBC organization, are trying to narrate the riots in this way, "The extremist rightist ruffians, affected with cyberspace lies, have embarked on riots."

BBC channel wrote, "Online lies have aggravated conditions. The main provocateurs of riots on social networks and messengers have used hate-spreading and determining time and place of protests. The ruffians have attacked the residence of immigrants. The agent of these riots has been announced by the prime minister to be the far right current."

BBC then told the protesters, "The far right includes genocidal Nazis whom are called terrorists by the government. They want to destroy the society. Some of the rioters were criminals and thieves and some others were drunkards who had joined the chaos. It is enough to be online so that extremism reaches you."

Guardian: Put Twitter owner on trial

In view of this, the British daily Guardian believes that Elon Musk, as the owner of Twitter, should be on trial as the cause of riots. Guardian had written in a report that 6,000 special officers had taken to the streets to suppress protests.

New York Times: Economic problems cause protests

But, the American daily New York Times, in a report titled, Britain's anti-immigrant riots pose critical test for Starmer", wrote that, "…fraying public services and a cost of living crisis underline the unrest." New York Times, referring to professor Steven Fielding of Nottingham University, said that these riots have taken place in parts of Britain which have been beleaguered with economic recession.

New York Times wrote on the record of suppression of protests in Britain by Premier Starmer, "When he was working as senior attorney in 2011, after the formation of riots, he tried to put the agents on trial and imprison them rapidly."

According to the NYT report, Ms. Claire Ainsley, former director of Starmer's policies, had said that it is wrong to think that all those participating the riots are the protesters against immigrants. The good economic condition and living welfare will cause the far rights to have less influence. This is what we do not see today in Britain's economy.

This American media says, "Britain is in dire need of foreign workers for economic growth and it cannot reduce them."
