Author and journalist, former Sports Editor of the BBC Mihir Bose talks to fellow journalists Economics Editor of the Sunday Times David Smith and political analyst Nigel Dudley about the week’s events.
“We haven’t seen that in a long time, I can remember this growing up in the 60’s and 70’s in the West Midlands when that kind of thing did happen and the National Front was on the rise”, says David Smith, talking about the organised violence we have seen on the streets recently.
Why did they happen?
“Let’s not beat about the bush, what we have seen is the calculated politicisation of immigration as an issue by the Conservative party in the run-up to the last election. They have blurred the distinction between legal immigration and what they describe as illegal immigration but which you rightly say, David, are asylum seekers” says Nigel.
Having reported on several years of summer riots, they think the new government handled it well.
“Keir Starmer has come out of this particularly well. He knew what to do and did it extremely well,” says David.
