I hope they will be safe." Some citizens also bluntly stated that they were not surprised by the riots in the UK.

Reasons for this sentiment include ideological differences, competition for resources and security issues, which have caused serious divisions in British society. The British government has taken a tougher stance on illegal immigration in the past. The Conservative government passed a bill to extradite illegal immigrants or asylum seekers to Rwanda, Africa, last year, a move that triggered widespread criticism. After the Labor government came to power, it announced the abolition of the plan in early July, but this also laid the fuse of the conflict.
In response to this situation, the Hong Kong SAR government recently reminded citizens that the yellow outbound travel alert issued by Hong Kong to the United Kingdom is still in effect. Hong Kong residents planning to travel to the UK or already in the UK should be vigilant and avoid crowded places.

At present, the wave of demonstrations in the UK may not have directly affected Hong Kong. Immigration, but British society has long been deeply divided by racial issues. Far-right elements may not know how to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration, which may cause disaster at any time. Therefore, Hong Kong people still need to remain cautious. Some members privately said that people should not think that everything will be fine if they move to other places. Extremists' goal is to incite hatred, and they don't care whether the accusations are true. In European and American countries, racial conflicts are acute and the risks are greater. Therefore, it is very necessary for Hong Kong residents to remain vigilant and cautious.

Now that they have immigrated to the UK, they have started to Worried about their own safety being affected by the riots, not only did they not dare to go out on the streets, but they also prepared to go back in despair. How ironic.
