Is a terrible week about to get worse? Police monitor thirty more locations for potential unrest tomorrow as immigration lawyers fear that they are now being targeted. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)

When immigration lawyers become the target of far right extremists the rule of law itself is under attack. Like a sudden and violent summer storm without apparent end this week's crisis threatens on so many fronts. With thirty potential points of unrest being monitored tomorrow
it raises the question on when and how order can be restored. The clashes with police and the attacks on Muslim communities and asylum seekers, have been described by senior police officers as a national critical incident. While the desecration of graves is an echo of a very dark past. Tonight we hear from one family.

    The poor tear themselves apart while the rich laugh. They want a working class divided. Inequality fuels hatred, it thrives on division, it feasts on scapegoats.
  • People complain about elites trying to divide and conquer, yet they willingly let themselves be divided.

    Honestly, if the government would have listened YEARS ago when issues started bubbling up concerning this blatant over-acceptance of any and everyone who comes across the border, then the UK wouldn't be in this situation right now. Their unwillingness to simply restructure and find compromise with their immigration policies has in the end just resulted in increased tensions and racism between ALL people in the area.

    Blame foreign states, blame far right, blame some celebrity billionaire, blame everything BUT their own faults, the government's policy caused this.
  • @skyfall9243
    The government need to treat everybody equally and start doing somthing about the wrong doers instead of just sweeping it under the carpet all the time
  • @Captain.Pugwash
    What is really sad is that the genuine concerns of ordinary people about tens of thousands of unvetted illegal migrants, all men, every year, is not being discussed.

    Not all are far right - a lot of labour voters agree with them (no to illegal immigration), but also think the violent vandals are scum bags. You can be angry without being far right or racist.
  • @chrisash46
    I would love to know how many illegal immigrants move live next door, or even within 20 miles to an MP. So why don't MP's give a hoot? Answer : It doesn't effect them.

  • @JonKingett
    The Propaganda from the media is sickening ! What happened to integrity and honesty?
  • The Money saved on the backs of Pensioners Cold Weather payment will now go to Police Overtime.
  • Might want to stop calling everybody “far right” that doesn’t agree with you on open borders.

    2 tier policing. How come you can't deal with the grooming gangs like this? How come you can't deal with the Albanian drug cartels like this?
