Riots involving hundreds of anti-immigration protesters have erupted in several towns and cities in recent days after false information spread rapidly on social media that the suspect in Monday's knife attack at a dance class for children in Southport was a radical Muslim migrant.
Police have said the suspect, Axel Rudakubana, 17, was born in Cardiff, Wales, but protests by anti-immigration and anti-Muslim demonstrators have continued, descending into violence and rioting, most recently in the northeastern city of Sunderland on Friday evening.
Comment: That such significant unrest occurred, and so quickly, reveals just how angry the general public are about weaponised mass migration.
Whilst there have been smaller groups spouting anti-Muslim sentiment, as well other groups such as antifa, some of whom support the weaponised migration agenda, these aren't the majority. However, of course, the government and its propaganda media want us to believe that the extremist elements are all there is to these protests.
The following is a small selection of footage of events, and incidents, in various locations, from today:
Police in Liverpool said on Saturday that a number of officers had been injured while dealing with "serious disorder" in the city centre.
Authorities in the eastern city of Hull said four people were arrested and three officers were injured while dealing with protests where bottles were thrown.
Mosques across the country have been advised to strengthen security, while police have deployed extra officers.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, facing his first big test since being elected a month ago, has condemned the "far-right" for the violence and backed police to take strong action. He discussed the disorder with senior ministers on Saturday, his office said.
The last time major widespread violence erupted in Britain was in 2011 when thousands took to the streets for five nights after police shot dead a Black man in London.
Comment: The UK BLM protests were fairly disruptive, and they occurred just a few years ago.
Reuters witnesses in Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and Belfast reported a tense atmosphere on Saturday afternoon as police tried to keep several hundred rival protesters who were chanting slogans from clashing.
Scuffles and violence broke out in some cities, including in Liverpool, where eggs, beer cans and smoke grenades were thrown, while in Belfast, some businesses reported damage to property.
"I have no reason why they attacked us," said Rahmi Akyol, standing outside his cafe in Belfast, whose glass doors were shattered after being attacked by dozens of people throwing bottles and chairs.
"I've lived here 35 years. My kids, my wife is from here. I don't know what to say, it's terrible," he said.
At protests in London, police arrested several people including one for making a Nazi salute towards a counter-protester.
On Friday night hundred of anti-immigration demonstrators in Sunderland threw stones at police in riot gear near a mosque, before overturning vehicles, setting a car alight and starting a fire near a police station.
Comment: As a sign of just how a general malaise has been brewing across the UK and Ireland, in just the past few weeks there have been numerous bouts of unrest reported: one occurred after social services removed a child from a gypsy family - and this protest was attended to by various peoples, including White and Asian people; another was in Dublin where people were protesting a proposed migrant housing site; another was in protest to a police officer stamping on the head of a British-Asian assailant.
