Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates – along
with Australia - have issued travel alerts urging their citizens to be
careful if travelling to the UK.
This follows violent riots which have seen police battling with Far
Right demonstrators in towns and cities across England and Northern
Ireland.
The violence was fueled by misinformation about the person
responsible for the fatal stabbing of three young girls in the seaside
town of Southport near Liverpool.
The ‘misinformation’ has led to a spat between Elon Musk and British
prime minister Sir Keir Starmer after the tech boss claimed that Britain
was heading for civil war.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the billionaire owner of X,
formerly Twitter, provoked a row with Downing Street amid the UK
government’s accusations that social media is fuelling the unrest.
In a comment on his social media site about the violence, Musk said,
“civil war is inevitable” – a remark that was explicitly rejected by the
Prime Minister’s official spokesman, who said there was “no
justification” for it.
