The '''2024 Starmer riots''' refers to the "[[far-right]]" civil unrest and [[Islamic]] mob violence that broke out mainly in England in July and August 2024, less than 5 weeks into the premiership of [[Keir Starmer]]. The demonstrations that the media describe as "far-right" were in response to the murder of 3 British girls at a dance class in Southport, Lancashire, on 29 July 2024 by an ethnic Rwandan born in [[Cardiff]]. The initial demonstration took place in Southport itself. In response to the Southport demonstration, the Labour government exposed the two-tier nature of its response to protests and civil unrest; observers in the media noted that Home Secretary Yvette Cooper responded more aggressively to the Southport demonstrators, who were mainly white British, than she had to a riot in Leeds, Yorkshire 2 weeks prior, caused by migrants.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/07/31/a-tale-of-two-riots-uk-accused-of-double-standards-depending-on-who-is-behind-civil-unrest/  A Tale of Two Riots: UK Government Accused of Double Standards Depending on Who is Behind Civil Unrest]</ref>

The allegations of two-tier policing were confirmed on 5 August, when [[David Kurten]] noted that a mob of violent Muslim thugs waving [[Palestine]] flags descended on the streets of [[Birmingham]], Warwickshire, and no arrests were made, nor did the police engage in any of the other heavy-handed responses as they had done with the anti-immigration protesters, nor was the group condemned by the Starmer government.<ref>[https://twitter.com/davidkurten/status/1820542536135667818?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet  TWO TIER POLICING: A huge crowd of Muslims gathers on the streets in Birmingham.

On 31 July, Starmer responded to the "far-right" riots by using the scenes as a pretext for [[Orwellian]] curtailments of civil liberties and the establishment of a surveillance state. Of the tools being deployed to curtail rioting, Starmer specifically named "wider deployment of facial recognition technology, and preventative action: criminal behaviour orders to restrict their movement, before they can even board a train". The response was condemned by civil liberties groups including Big Brother Watch, who described the the Prime Minister's words an "alarming pledge" that "threatens rather than protects democracy".<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/08/02/big-brother-watch-civil-liberties-group-raises-alarm-on-starmer-using-anti-stabbing-riots-pretext-to-roll-out-facial-recognition-cameras/ Big Brother Watch: Civil Liberties Group Raises Alarm on Starmer Using Anti-Stabbing Riots Pretext to Roll Out Facial Recognition Cameras]</ref>
