Far-Right Riots Erupt Across England Amid Anti-Immigrant Sentiment
- England is witnessing a surge in anti-immigrant and far-right violence, with mobs attacking hotels housing asylum seekers and mosques, clashing with police, and causing widespread destruction.
- The violence was sparked by a mass stabbing in Southport, where three young girls were killed. Disinformation spread by far-right influencers falsely claimed the suspect was a Muslim asylum seeker, stoking tensions.
- Riots have spread from Southport to other towns and cities, including Hartlepool, Manchester, Aldershot, and London, with over 100 arrests and significant injuries to police officers.
- The unrest is fueled by far-right figures like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson) and is amplified by social media platforms, targeting immigrants, Islam, and the government.
- The government, led by Keir Starmer, plans to tackle the violence with a new national policing unit and criminal-behavior orders, but the rioters remain undeterred, with further protests planned.

Why does it sound one sided, i don't think it's appropriate to just summarise any news from only one source. This is Mis-information
