About this listen
What do we really see when the headlines scream of riots and unrest?
In this episode, we dive deep into the summer riots that swept across the UK, examining the racial tensions that fuelled the violence, and how the media distorted these events as anti-immigration protests. But what was really behind the chaos?
We explore the tragic events that sparked the unrest and how grief quickly turned into racial scapegoating. From the history of racist riots in the UK to the glaring inequalities in policing, we critically dissect how race and class are intertwined in this societal breakdown. Our discussion challenges the dangerous narratives that divide communities and asks why violent mobs are treated with leniency while peaceful protesters face harsh penalties.
