Some of the people that rioted were a motley assortment of right wing thugs following their warped ideology. Others were just yobs who were gullible enough to believe the misinformation, or just saw an opportunity for mayhem (one of the rioters has, IIRC, 170 previous convictions).
Yes, people are frustrated about many things in the UK (lack of affordable housing, dentists, decent jobs etc). But a most of these things are down to austerity, poor governance and the greed of the ruling classes. They aren't caused by relatively tiny numbers (29,437 in 2023) of desperate people coming across the channel in small boats. They are just a convenient scapegoat.
