Leicester<\/a> is an ancient city of around 350,000 people in English Midlands<\/a>\u2014only an hour\u2019s drive from Wolverhampton<\/a>, the hometown of England\u2019s all-too-prescient <\/a>immigration patriot Enoch Powell.<\/a> Founded by the Romans<\/a>, by the Middle Ages it was one of the country\u2019s major trading posts, becoming heavily industrialized during the nineteenth century.<\/a> It came to international attention in 2012 when the remains of Shakespeare\u2019s famous hunchback King Richard III<\/a> were found there [Richard III could be buried under Leicester car park, archaeologists say<\/em><\/a>, by Press Association, The Guardian, <\/em>August 24, 2012].<\/p>\n

However, Leicester has long held the attention of British leftists by becoming the country\u2019s most \u201cdiverse\u201d city. In the early 1970s, large numbers of South Asians began arriving in Leicester to work in its factories. Some 25% of the Ugandan Asians<\/a> expelled by Idi Amin in 1972 <\/a>settled in Leicester. By 1991, Leicester was 28% non-white. In the 2001 census, it was 36% non-white, and by 2011 it had tipped over into being Britain\u2019s first \u201cmajority minority city<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One of Leicester\u2019s Members of Parliament, a black woman of West Indian descent called Claudia Webbe<\/a>, who was convicted<\/a> late last year of criminal harassment<\/a> of her husband\u2019s lover and expelled from the Labour parliamentary group, tweeted<\/a> on September 17th that:<\/p>\n

Leicester is a shining example of how people from different cultures can live together side by side. Our diversity is what makes Leicester special. We are the city where the minorities make up the majority. And we are richer for this vibrant exchange of cultures.<\/p>\n

But it appears that Leicester is very far<\/a> from the beacon of Multicultural harmony that Webbe imagines\u2014which is clearly why she sent out that tweet. In late August, Leicester degenerated into violent rioting<\/a>, which then continued for almost two weeks, flaring up as recently as September 18th. And this was not a matter of evil \u201cwhite supremacists\u201d being unhappy about the takeover of what was once an English city. The violence was between Hindus and Muslims.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the Pravda-like taxpayer-funded broadcaster BBC (= a much bigger NPR) tried to cover up what was happening. At first, it simply didn\u2019t report the riots, so people learnt about them from alternative media or from local media. Then the BBC carefully reported them without actually giving away any information that would question the \u201cDiversity Is Our Strength\u201d and \u201cOnly Whites Can Be Racist\u201d mantras.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the BBC admitted that hundreds of people had been rioting in Leicester: \u201cIt is the latest in a series of disturbances,<\/a> including violence following an India and Pakistan cricket match on 28 August\u201d [Hundreds on streets in Leicester disorder<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>BBC News, September 17, 2022].<\/p>\n

In other words, the taxpayer-funded broadcaster had suppressed what was happening on the streets of Leicester for over a week.<\/p>\n

Earlier that day, the BBC had reported that there had been disturbances in Leicester and that various young men had been arrested. But it had given no information whatsoever on the cause of these disturbances or the fact that they were anything to do with Muslims and Hindus. It was also relegated to the regional news section [East Leicester disorder leads to 27 arrests<\/em><\/a>, BBC News, September 17, 2022].<\/p>\n

The leftist tabloid The Mirror <\/em>did report the disorder when it happened\u2014but failed to mention it was rioting between Muslims and Hindus [Huge brawl breaks out in UK street as mob throw punches after India vs Pakistan cricket match<\/em><\/a>, by Hannah Dodd & Liam Buckler, The Mirror, <\/em>September 1, 2022].<\/p>\n

So, what has actually been happening in this wonderful example of imported urban diversity?<\/p>\n

To its credit, local newspaper the Leicester Mercury <\/em>was on the case immediately. On August 28th, there was a cricket match between India and Pakistan. It should be emphasized that India (80% Hindu) and Pakistan (overwhelmingly Muslim) hate each other and are engaged in a decades-old border dispute [Why India and Pakistan Hate Each Other<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>by Shamila Chaudhary, Foreign Policy, <\/em>February 4, 2014].<\/p>\n

India won the match, so Hindus poured onto the streets of the Belgrave area of Leicester to celebrate. Naturally, this rather upset the Pakistanis who lived in the area. The Pakistanis started chanting Islamic phrases, which provoked the Hindus. The Hindus chanted their own offensive phrase, and fighting began, which included police officers, themselves South Asian in many cases, being injured. A video<\/a> of the disorder soon began to circulate on social media [Violence flares during India v Pakistan cricket street celebrations in Belgrave, Leicester<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>by Asha Patel, Leicester Mercury, <\/em>August 30, 2022]. In this video, Muslims had gone into a Hindu area at night and were attacking people\u2019s houses.<\/p>\n

The Hindus taunted the Muslims by chanting the Hindi phrase \u201cJai Shri Ram.\u201d This is offensive because it has been chanted in India during anti-Muslim riots and during attacks on mosques by Hindu nationalists. It literally means \u201cVictory to Lord Ram\u201d and is regarded as \u201chate speech,\u201d so inflammatory is it for Pakistanis and Indian Muslims [The 3 Most Polarizing Words in India<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>by Snigdha Poonam, Foreign Policy, <\/em>February 13, 2020]. They also chanted \u201cPakistan Murdabad\u201d which translates as \u201cDeath to Pakistan\u201d and dates back to the partition of India in 1947 when Hindus and Muslims massacred each other [Why is violence breaking out in Leicester?,<\/em><\/a> by John Connolly, The Spectator, <\/em>September 18, 2022].<\/p>\n

The rioting then continued every night, with young male Muslims and Hindus coming onto the streets, entering each other\u2019s \u201careas\u201d of Leicester, provoking each other and then fighting. This even started happening during the day. A video<\/a>, published on September 18th, shows a gang of Hindus turning up in a Muslim area and chanting \u201cVictory to Lord Ram!\u201d<\/p>\n
