Extremism expert explains why riots are spreading across the UK

- Professor Roger Griffin (01:00) is an expert in extremism and terrorism. As riots spread to Sunderland, he explains to Paul Brand why they're taking hold. Paul also hears from Richard in Paddington (08:17) who gives his view.
Rioters were branded "criminal thugs" after disorder led by the far right broke out in Sunderland on Friday night, with a police station was set on fire and cars overturned.
The rioters set the police station at Signal House, Waterloo Place ablaze as they clashed with police in violent scenes.
Eight people were arrested and three police officers were left needing hospital treatment, as mounted police and officers in riot gear clashed with protestors.
Hundreds of people had gathered in the city's centre in response to Monday's Southport stabbings. Counter-protesters also came out, singing in support of refugees.
Sunderland Central MP Lewis Atkinson said of the rioters: "Our city is not represented by a tiny minority causing trouble."
He added that officers have his "full support as they respond to criminal thuggery and work to protect all the communities of our city".
"Tomorrow the people of Sunderland will come together and continue to build the bright future that we have - a future where every community of our city feels safe and prospers," he said.
Northumbria Police confirmed eight people were arrested and three officers were taken to hospital as the violence erupted.
Chief Superintendent Helena Barron, who led the policing operation, said: "The shocking scenes we have witnessed in Sunderland this evening are completely unacceptable. I want to make it absolutely clear that the disorder, violence and damage which has occurred will not be tolerated.
"The safety of the public is our utmost priority and when we became aware that a protest had been planned, we ensured there was an increased policing presence in the city. During the course of the evening those officers were met with serious and sustained levels of violence, which is utterly deplorable."

What do you mean by at the bottom?

@@catherinemartin6258 the problem is leftists like you that think you know best
Typical lefty who has no idea.
Why is everybody focusing on reaction of people rather than tackling the root of the problem that caused the reaction in the first place?
Because the root cause is leftist ideology.
Because the reaction is violent extremism. The irony being that the people who claim they are rioting for those three little girls are actually distracting attention away from them with their thuggish behaviour.
So rioting can be ignored? Interesting.

I strongly believe its because more and more people are experiencing first hand issues and realising our resources are seriously depleted. We experienced in East London 40 years ago in the Brick Lane area. Overnight we were told we couldn't celebrate Christmas in schools. Children were refused a school place because the huge Bangladeshi community were given priority. Eastend stall holders had their licence/ income taken to encourage Bangladeshi stall holders. The end of Roman Rd market .All schools were given a Halal meat. We were told to call Brick Lane Bangla town as part of the rebranding. Our homes were all compulsory purchased for a fraction of the price by Tower Hamlets council and news builds were given to thousands of people who REFUSED to integrate. We spotted it in the 1980s. We had Zero say and were branded and punished if we voiced the slightest concern My Grandfather and parents said until it reaches the leafy suburbs and effects them they won't get. I'm guessing it finally reached the leafy suburbs!
Interesting point of view. Thanks.
It’s very easy & lazy to blame individuals for inciting riots. Interviewers drilling down to get a “gotcha” moment so they can say “He did it” or “She did”. Left or Right, Hard Right Hard Left or the latest in buzz word Pogroms. The interviewer can pat themselves on their back & justify they were right & the other person wrong. Then that’s carried on & repeated but never evaluated as it repeated on social media. We never look at the real problems nor try to address them. A lack of housing, schools, hospitals, dentists, food, money, jobs & so on. Not everyone is on the same economic level, not everyone works in a well paid job, some people are barely scraping by. Resentment builds in all parts of the spectrum for different reasons. Tensions builds & people find they are dismissed or vilified but ignored over time about large issues like mass immigration that if the truth were told will be disastrous for most people of this island & lots of people are spitting feathers. All those resentments come to the fore when the PM makes another announcement that will impact the people & a peaceful March is organised but a faction within decide to go too far & riot. Then another side will retaliate & March too on another day. Violence will break out, even if who they were expecting failed to turn up so they look to who they can vent their anger out on. No one in authority really cares about the root cause issues & it will be quite for a while, then bubble to the surface until those in power really listen to the people.
Its how they voted in the last election they are getting harassed and intimidated for
The super rich and tax avoiders are loving these protests. That's all ill say on the matter

@@user-yv1od6ho7t yes, and you forgot the question mark. They're typically used when asking questions
I often think that going back to the 1950’s with the social agenda practised by the governments at the time, helped get so many people onto their feet and gateways to higher education and apprenticeships. Look at the employment practices now with zero contracts and low wages. Brexit, Covid and high immigration has certainly exacerbated the problems.
I consider myself to be on the left but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Immigration is too high and there is no point in splitting hairs about what type of immigration it is. Labour seem to think building an obscene amount of houses and chasing constant growth will just magically fix everything. The fact is most people are nimbys and don't want to see see their towns or cities rapidly expanding by adding more houses and strain on infrastructure and ultimately contributing to more crime. People don't want their towns to become the next London, Paris or New York. Then eventually the UK becomes some kind of dystopian metropolis. I'm sorry but it is cheaper and more effective to start removing people who don't have citizenship here and using the 1 million empty homes we currently have, many of which are abandoned streets. If Labour don't do something about this then something far worse will replace them in Government, this isn't 20 years ago were you go just brush this aside.
Hear hear. The CIA paid far rigth to keep the flame of the anger on the islamist and ignore inequality. That's why all non indigenous to england are considered legetimate targets.
Same boat. Im pro immigration but only when it is handled sensibly. This insane level of immigration is spurred on by capitalistic greed. Companies want cheaper workers and bigger consumer markets. As always, it all comes down to money in the end.
Problem with the riots though is that a portion of the rioters are against all immigration in general which I think is ridiculous.
Out of interest, how do you think the current 100,000 vacant posts in the NHS are going to be filled? Also, food is rotting in the fields due to a shortage of migrant workers.... The soft fruit industry has been destroyed since E. European workers left. They've all gone to do the same jobs in places like Morocco, developing the industry in those countries.
"it is cheaper and more effective to start removing people" Really? How much did the Tories spend on the Rwanda plan? £318M. How many people were removed? 🤔
@@strider9191 So your counter argument and answer is basically plug every gap with immigrants because you have decided British people don't want to do this kind of work? If picking crops in fields is not a viable job for British workers then it is time to embrace new technology and farming methods, they exist. These kind of jobs are being kept around artificially when automation exists.
@@Reprogrammed_By_SEGA you say ‘plug every gap’ as if they are merely temporary problems. Are you aware of the length of time that the NHS has had the 100,000 vacancies? Perhaps you could point out the western nations that haven’t used cheap migrant labour to develop their economies..Brexit has shown the huge skills gap there is in this country, that is dependent on migrant labour to fill.
As for your statement about automating agriculture: a simple internet search produced a number of reputable sources along these lines: “When it comes to harvesting soft fruit, (where the bulk of many farmer's costs lie) machines have consistently failed to impress. It's proved very hard for a harvesting robot to match the speed, dexterity, accuracy and judgment skills which humans have evolved over millennia to feed themselves.” Plus, who is supposed to do the investing? Cash strapped farmers suffering the after effects of Brexit (along with other factors, and many committing suicide as a result)?

It depends on those rioting. Just few weeks ago.... They were playing down one riot.
Until they openly talk about the issues without name calling, this will get worse and the innocent will get hurt.
Well they will only be listened to if they stop acting like animals and hurting innocent people. The more terror they create, the less people will listen. If they act with integrity, respect and peace, they will be listened to. But right now they don't deserve respect for how they've acting towards innocent people, communities and officers.
Greivances yes! but then ignores it and go straight to far-right mode! Hes an expert of being in denial!
He’s an academic. He’s probably as red as they get
I despise riots and the lives they damage. Everyone says it is far right but nothing was ever said this much about the far left and their rioting when they were just as bad if not worse in some ways. Great examples are the BLM movement and antifa. In many ways the police heighten the protests to riots with the way they behave. The country has fallen apart because of the segregation caused by the politicians and the media. It all started with the wokeness and it has increased more and more each day to the point where the British public are no longer heard. This is the fault of social/mainstream media and politicians. Everybody has had enough of it and i just can't see it ending anytime soon whilst the media and politicians keep segregating and labelling everyone instead of seeing people as people.

My first question is "to when?"

@@kelvinhunter5807 I think you misundertood my post. i am firmly against these riots, the rioters and what they stand for.
To when people could speak their minds without being visited by the police to investigate "non-crime hate crimes". To when there was a common understanding of the rights of women, to when there was allowed to be such a thing as English or British culture, to when the notion of parallel legal systems was unthinkable, to when hate-filled, violent religious demonstrations by immigrants were policed as violently as those by opponents. The resentment has been brewing a long time. Britons are tired of being shamed for breathing. If the authorities want real trouble they can keep pretending people need Tommy Robinson to stir them up or that it is just far right extremists who are angry. Blair said he wanted the Right to choke on immigration, well the choking has happened and now the vomiting is starting.

Seriously they need to control the immigration 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah we do need to control immigration, we need a lot more of it. We (the UK) will be in serious trouble (like the complete breakdown of society) in one or two generations without significant levels of immigration. We don’t have enough young people, and people aren’t having enough children to maintain the population. What do you think will happen when millions of old people need supporting and the average couple is having less than two children? Say goodbye to any sort of state pension or free healthcare in your old age.
I agree but thay doesn't justify what happened in Sunderland, Hull, Liverpool
Legal immigration vs illegal immigration.
Makes your argument void
True but they live
According to the office of national statistics, emmigration from the UK in 2023 was 508,000 of which 18% (93,000) were UK nationals. Immigration to the UK was 1.18 million (1.8% of the total UK population) of which 82% (968,000) were non EU nationals. Since 2021 non EU nationals have accounted for the majority of UK immigration and emmigration. The statistics you quoted are long term statistics for individuals born in the UK emmigrating to those countries over decades; current immigration is matching those numbers every few years. I say this as a pro immigration individual btw, you don't need to fluff numbers to support it.
I'm an outsider here but is any thought being given to the mass migration that is occurring in most western countries? Most of these countries populations are very concerned about the massive amount of "immigrants" flooding into the various countries. People immediately turn to right or left issues without concern for the people affected by the "immigrants". It may look as if the government is not held accountable for what they have been doing and the most affected people will surely lash out. As far as these "experts" go, its becoming more apparent that they may be part of the problem. Just saying!!!!
What about the mass migration of Western military to the Middle East…with their guns and bombs and the killing of hundreds and thousands of people under false pretence and then leaving the whole place in a mess? Which also caused the whole issue of migration in the first place?
CZcams and Google are involved as well. Narratives really help those conjuring these situations. It's not organic but rather directed to do exactly as is happening. Stir up , ride the violence, impose rules , laws and consequences... reap the overlording rewards. Its quite plain and simple.
It’s fine to have concerns about immigration, especially with regards to things like housing supplies and social services. Those are tough issues and there probably won’t be any easy answers given that we’re probably gonna see more migration in the coming century as a result of climate change.
Know what doesn’t help the situation though? Stoking division and hatred between people and portraying a difficult and complex issue as a global conspiracy to replace white people.
Also the fact you refer to them as “immigrants” and not just immigrants tells me you’re a lot more than just a “concerned citizen” on this matter. Just saying!!! 🙄

Fascism is a genuine communitarian response to the alienation of extreme capitalism. But fascists are usually well off, relatively wealthy, owners of a small business or the home in which they live; they are advantaged over the lower class members of society. But in their mind, society must have been, at some point, in its correct natural order to have awarded them their privileges. Thus, they can not correctly identify capitalism as the source of social problems because capitalism also privileged them over the lower class. They must fight fight for capitalism, even as it degrades them, as a matter of the maintenance of their own self identity privilege. Any critique of capital, then, in their minds, has to come from the same people who are causing social disruption, an alien outsider separate in some way from the mythical natural order, the one that used to be 'great', which generated their social advantages.
but its better than the socialism thats the problem

I don't know this case, so I don't judge, but comparing the nazis with the revolution is laughable. Every member of a genetic group, country, or people, cannot be responsible for something.

Guiding a group of disgruntled people towards a common goal… It’s exactly what Fox and Tate and Farage are trying to do.

Right. US news has been very quiet about the protest in Europe. They always are. Although we are facing similar issues they don't want to feed the beast. They have been pandering to the left and elites.

An English-born Christian, no wonder he turned out that way.
What kinda person/people bring their children to riots? Snitching to social services is not the answer tho.
They took them to a protest... at least try to be honest
@@nihilistlivesmatter it’s not a protest, it’s a riot.
@@nihilistlivesmatter the presenters said riot's, I didn't, I just went with what they said. Taking children to protests is cool, showing them to stand up for their beliefs. At the same time I think we all know the protest might escalate to a riot and that wouldn't be a place I'd like to see any child.
@@col.hertford9855 it's a bit of both I suppose, not everyone is going to cause trouble, I hope.
@@col.hertford9855 no it's a fiery but mostly peaceful protest
Ask the question to those opposing immigration. How would you feel if the situation was reversed and you had to flee to places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran or other places where most of these immigrants have fled from. You would be happy somebody offered you sanctuary.
should be talking about the kids that have died
Go on then. Talk about the murdered little girls and how adult men screaming in the streets of English towns is helping them, their grieving families, or their little pals who are still recovering in hospital. I’m waiting…….talk about them. Come on Alan.
Everyone WAS talking about them until these riots hijacked the conversation and limelight
Where were this lot when Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering 7 babies? Where was their rage for the deaths of those children? Or did they not matter because the murderer was white? Most of them probably don’t know who she is or what she did. This shower couldn’t care less about the children who died. They’re using their deaths as an excuse to vent their bigotry and xenophobia.
In Palastine ? Under UK Bombs ?
7:21 but this is not a conspiracy. The UK is being islamised. We can see this simply by looking at percentage of population that are muslim by year. 5.3% now, and it's growing at an alarming rate.
Must be about 100,000, 2% in Ireland now.
It was only 3,000 in 1991
About 15,000 in 2000.
Get Back To Church Then...
Riots aren't the problem, the thing that caused the riots is.
People have had enough and politicians are very slow to catch on.
Violence can't be accepted and respect law and order. Government must protect all the citizens.
You can't respect wickedness...fight for your country patriots
Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson, Michael Gove, Tommy Robinson, Isabella Oakshot, Katie Hopkins, Julia Hartley, GB news, Talk TV - that’s the problem. Caller got it right, it’s all ’Our’ country.
You must live in neighborhood where these issues do not affect you. Upper class? Upper middle class. It's not going away until the root of the issue is delt with.
There is no 'complicated answer'; This country has always had a problem with roving gangs of thugs and to our shame we've never addressed it because we fear them.
Life in the UK became horrible in the last 14 years. I'm Russian , my husband is British we live in Britain: free medical care is much better in Russia, education, schools, special education needs schools - it all much better in Russia. The UK is becoming third world country very quickly. Please just understand that. I love UK. I feel sad that the country is getting so so bad! Nothing is functioning anymore. Half of my family are British and of course I want them to live in a better place. Unfortunately the UK is not getting better. It is getting worse and worse every single day. I am so happy when I can just go and book a free appointment in Russia to see endocrinologist for my Hoshimoto, my son can be seen for his ASD straight away. In the UK we have been waiting for the appointment for 3!!!! 3!!!! YEARS!!!! what? How is this acceptable????
This is a 40 year problem ... This is 40 years of boiling the frog .....People have had 40 years to think about the country problems and now all we seen is there starting to agree with each other on that issue
Ordinary people with fully justified fears and points of view have been ignored for decades by an arrogant, left wing political elite, who do not themselves, suffer the costs of endless mass inward migration from countries whose values are alien to our own. That's the deeper underlying reason for these riots. Because when political processes fail to work, for decades, direct physical action is the only avenue left open to many, ordinary working class people.
The 'expert', like the vast majority of academics nowadays, is obviously significantly left wing, and an apologist for the failed political establishment who despise ordinary British people.
Genuinely interested but do you not feel the young and minorities who often get conflated with the left have suffered the same? The whole country is fed up I agree but this action is going to emboldened a crackdown by the state. If it isn't about skin colour or religion then if people actually spoke to each other there would be massive alignment I truly believe. People want neoliberalism out. Why should big business and foreign donors run the country
But this bame calling and bothering of people does harm to the cause
Left wing? The Conservatives have been in power for 14 years and people who are actually left wing are accusing Starmer's Labour of being too far right!
Till the human rights immigration laws are changed for the illegals nothing changes. Campaign for the change of the human rights laws immigration & illegal immigration. All part of EU b.s Suella Braverman spoke about this on a you tube channel before. Did my research it's true.
Boycott Amazon

What far right? Seriously what far right? These are working class indigenous
Do you genuinely think that far right people cannot be "working class" or "indigenous"?
Fascism cannot rise without working class support. Same old, same old.
Do you seriously think that being far right is mutually exclusive with being working class? Really?
@@Khalkara Yawn. Obviously not. There does seem to be agitators, in Southport certainly. But those that live in working class areas happen to be working class. It's their "lived experience" that has never been listened to.
@@Khalkara no, but they are used as foot soldiers.
Unless they address the concerns of the people things will continue to escalate.
Thumbs up for serious academics. 🎉🎉🎉
Let's fix our social and economic issues, and stop minority narratives ( often destructive) causing more problems.
British people should respect British law. The right to demonstrate PEACEFULLY is enshrined in our democracy. Causing injury and destruction to the very people that are protecting our democracy brings shame to the flag of St George while being carried by those people causing the destruction.
Trouble is Indigenous White Brits are not allowed to protest now because they are immediately racially profiled by the police as Far Right
As soon as the retirement age went up, all the discontent started.
"No thugs in our house .."
XTC. English Settlement. I was listening to it only this morning. Brilliant album.
You import them every day.
Because people like Nigel Farage is winding them up and inciting hatred. He says "I'm worried someone will firebomb a mosque" and then someone fire bombs a mosque (as an example, may or may not have happened).
People like Farage are responsible.
He's not in the slightest bit responsible for anything. Was he also responsible for the Manchester bombing or London Bridge massacre? Or perhaps the estimated 4000 girls rap ed by grooming gangs?
Was with this guy until he said parties that don’t adhere to democratic values should be OUTLAWED. For one thing that is totalitarian in itself and also that would probably mean that both labour and conservatives should be outlawed going by many of their actions.
People are angry and rightfully so. Any remote opinions that put you on the right and your pushed out the conversation and sensored and deleted. I completely understand why people are getting violent. Country is kicking off and its about time and i hope it continues.
Roger Griffin is kind of right, but you can't debate the feelings of the silent majority. People who have protested previously have held up a few placards and been represented by the mass media. For every one protester there are 10'000 who disagree. It's not far right extremism, it's common opinion.
The main issue is peaceful protest get less publicity. Less respect for their concerns. Stop oil do silly media stunts but not violent things and their protests are closed down too and sent to jail for it. \protest is the very safety valve for democracy and something politicians should be listening to and agreeing with, helping sort out.
LBC joke of a radio station
why? because the professor told you something you don’t want to admit?
last fella calling in is 💯 spot on
Professor didn't bend to that second heavily lead question, An over occupation of Islamism and their beliefs are the danger.
The professor needs to get out of Oxford and open his eyes at the state of the country same with these reporters that are in the London bubble
Does it matter if these people identify themselves with the far right? If they act like far-right individuals, they might as well be considered as such. It’s not like you have to register for a club.
Please look up the statistics relating to terrorism. They are on the government website.
Decide for yourself.
i am a British asian born in london. I have supported Tommy Robinson for 15 years and i have been on most of his marches. This is not about racism, this is about people coming to this country and not respecting its values.
What are the values that aren`t respected by people coming to this country?
Stop dressing up the real problem.
Too many immigrants.
Indigenous people are feeling suppressed.
Are you serious
Can I ask how are you feeling supressed?
@@mari-sk6omthey have ignored the opinion of the concerned people for decades and now it has finally boiled over and they're bringing out new units and talking about lockdowns to stop them. Where was all this when they caused chaos in the streets for years?
Britain was Black 40,000 years ago, the whiteskin mutation only arose 7,000 years ago. Who are the interlopers here?
What about the family in Leeds who were given back their kids after the riot when the police ran away & abandoned the community & left them to fend for themselves 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
Wanting a peaceful and prosperous future for your kids makes you far right??? There in is the problem
how does somebody of a different ethnicity threaten your kids?
We don’t need someone to explain why people are angry, it is completely obvious.
"Far right far right" its WORKING CLASS fed up being treated like second class citizens
This so called academic just waffled on about nothing. Don't wasted your time.
"The people" have "had enough."
It's the grandiose self regard, and the delusion of these idiots I find irritating.
They've had enough so they are l o o t i n g their own English neighbourhoods?
As we all watch the news and the continued riots across the country,
did I miss something?
I never saw any roiting in Scotland or Wales !!
can the so-called experts who constantly talk about this , explain to the country why no rioting has occurred in Wales or Scotland
Genuine question. How do you judge what is far right and far left?
By seeing what an action most aligns with. If the more extreme lefties have a certain rhetoric (e.g. anti-capitalist) then it is fair to say that when someone uses that rhetoric that that someone is far left.
@@Khalkara No, I mean how do you judge what views constitute as far left and right?
@@keifer7813 Same answer, really.
If a view is promoted by extreme leftists, but not regular leftists, it is fair to call that view far left. Vice versa with rightists.
@@Khalkara Well that's circular reasoning then to say you judge people as far right by their views which themselves are judged as far right by their proponents
@@keifer7813 No..? Nothing I said invoked circular reasoning. What would be circular logic, is to say that the view is far left because it is far left. End of story, no intermediary steps taken.
Also I never said that people are far right (r left) because other people view them as such. I said look at what people who are on the left are saying and compare that to the view in question.
I don't get why this is so difficult for you to understand.
And if you still don't understand, can you try to give me an example where you're confused on what it constitutes as politically?
Didn't think the English had it in em.
Nor me
Lot's daughters ..... babies were the beginning
There's just an overwhelming amount of ignorance on both sides for proper objective discourse to ever take place. This is how the UK crumbles
Russia loving it
LBC left wing....the opposite of right wing .. What's the problem... You're allowed to be left-wing and that's OK but it's not okay to be right-wing.. jog on
Examples given, no relevance to the UK, someone let this guys nurse knows he is out and about again

Get off our streets.
