Unrest has swept through the U.K. following a fatal stabbing in the northern city of Southport, which far right groups wrongly attributed to a Muslim asylum-seeker. The incident has triggered widespread far right and anti-immigration protests in the country. In this episode of “Taiwan Talks,” we discuss the anti-immigration sentiment behind this series of events, new Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s response, and whether Russian disinformation fanned the flames of unrest. Furthermore, we explore lasting effects of Brexit, underlying domestic issues in the U.K., and why immigration continues to increase despite dissatisfaction.
Our guests are:
