Well, Russians can troll as good, if not gooder, as anyone out there. UK is exploding now from the inside with, frankly, anticipated violence (strange that it didn't start earlier). So, Maria Zakharova comments today...
Translation: We have drawn attention to the mass protests in a number of British cities in connection with the attack on a dance studio in Southport on July 29, which killed three children and left several others seriously injured and in hospital. The demonstrations have already escalated into riots across the country, with about a hundred protesters detained. At the same time, despite the British authorities' verbal commitment to "democratic principles", British Home Secretary I. Cooper has authorized the police to use the harshest measures against protesting citizens. As is well known, Russia does not allow interference in the internal affairs of foreign states, and refrains from intrusive instructions on how to resolve domestic problems and crises. On the contrary, such a policy is being pursued by Western countries, led by the United States, which should pay more attention to their own serious problems instead of undermining stability in the world. We often hear from Britain baseless accusations against our country of suppressing dissent and censorship, as well as loud calls for democracy and respect for human rights. However, in this case, it is the British authorities and the police that must act solely on the basis of the law. We remind you that citizens have every right to express disagreement with the policies of the authorities. In this regard, we call on London to refrain from unjustified and disproportionate use of violence against protesters and to ensure that the right of the British people to freedom of assembly is respected.
You see--two can play the game, and since Russia will always be guilty of British decline, why not ride the wave. We all know how and why this whole thing transpired in UK and on a personal level we all see where the replacement of the indigenous Anglo population leads in UK. But still, why not mock openly the country which is guilty of atrocities ranging from Middle East to Russia. Karma is a bitch, they say. Cannot agree more. Buckle up, they will create even larger clusterfuck in London... The last working-class hero in England.

Usually enjoy Zakharova's remarks, but this one feeds in to the right wing narrative of uncontrolled hordes of immigrants taking over European countries that unfortunately seems prevalent in Russian discourse. Why is she championing right wing racists and not complaining about the clampdown on pro-Palestinian activists? (Maybe she did previously?) Anyway that's what the author of the article picked up on, hence the ugly racism of:
'we all see where the replacement of the indigenous Anglo population leads in UK'
Quite agree, they are playing dirty but they can't be ignorant of the truth, I'd like to know why. The incitements of police violence by the perma-government here are undeniable. As usual the state uses crowd violence as a pretext to undermine the rule of law, a form of terrorism that the corp-0-rat media and state broadcaster overlook....The last working-class hero in England.
