Rishi Sunak blasts 'hateful groups' amid rise in extremism and says 'UK is not racist country'

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he feared the country's achievements in building a multi-ethnic, multi-faith democracy was being undermined, as he spoke out against a rise in extremism and criminality.

"In recent weeks and months, we've seen a shocking increase in extremist disruption and criminality," Sunak said in an address late on Friday (March 1) outside his Downing Street office.

"We are a country where we love our neighbours, and we are building Britain together. But I fear that our great achievement in building the world's most successful multi-ethnic multi-faith democracy is being deliberately undermined."

The UK leader said the police force has the government's backing to "manage and police protests", including those against the war in Gaza, to prevent the infiltration of extremism.

"Britain must not be a country in which we descend into polarised camps, with some communities living parallel lives," said Sunak. "It is not enough to live side by side. We must live together, united by shared values and a shared commitment to this country."
