British Prime Minister Kier Starmer announced Monday that there is a “standing army” of riot police ready to combat “thuggery” in the streets, which he attributed to the ‘Far Right’.

Protests have been flaring for days since the brutal murder of three young girls, and the attempted murder of several more children, with the accused the son of immigrant parents from Rwanda in East Africa.

After an emergency meeting, Starmer stated that among measures to be taken by the government against protests that turn violent, “The first is we’ll have a standing army of specialist officers… so that we’ll have enough officers to deal with this where we need them.”

The use of the phrase is interesting given its historical context in Great Britain.

Starmer stated that “Whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest. It is pure violence and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities,” adding “The full force of the law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part in these activities.”

Starmer’s comments were picked up by X owner Elon Musk, who responded “Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?”

Musk also posted that “civil war is inevitable” prompting Starmer to respond, saying there is “no justification” for such comments.
