The UK is no longer a safe place for tourists to go to following a series of far-right riots that have targeted immigrants and refugees.
A number of countries, including Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates are issuing warnings to their citizens about travelling to the UK.
Australia is terming the disturbances as terrorism and warns citizens "Exercise a high degree of caution in the UK due to the threat of terrorism." It also advises on its Smart Traveller site hat people should "Avoid areas where protests are occurring due to the potential for disruption and violence. Monitor the media for information and updates. Follow the instructions of local authorities." This raised warning level says it may reflect a weak law-and-order system, where violent crime is common. The destination may lack some key public services, such as a responsive police force.
The UAE warns people should be cautious at its highest level and take precautions in light of the unstable security situation in various cities in the UK. It also warns against its citizens going to witness riots and protests and to avoid crowded areas. Staff members have also been advised not to travel alone in the UK and take extra security officers on official business. 
Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued the following statement: "The high commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria wishes to inform the Nigerian community in the United Kingdom it is closely monitoring the ongoing protests and riots in various towns following the stabbing in Southport on July 29. The riots, which have assumed a violent and disorderly outlook as evidenced by reported attacks on law enforcement agents and damages to properties and infrastructure, may spread across the country.
To this end, the Nigerian community is advised to be extra vigilant, stay away from protest areas and avoid large gatherings. The High Commission will keep the Nigerian community in the UK informed of any development as the situation unfolds."
The Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned travellers and Malaysian residents in the UK should stay away from protest areas, remain vigilant and to follow the advice from local authorities. 
Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X used his vaulted position to spread misinformation and said that civil war in the UK was inevitable and is said to be offering funds to various organisations in the UK including the EDL. UK government officials have been warned against communicating via direct messages on X due to its lack of security and X staff being able to monitor and read such messages.
