Rioters Carry Out Racist Attacks Across Several British Cities

UNITED KINGDOM – The UK is facing the worst disorder it has seen in more than a decade after outbreaks of far-right, anti-immigrant violence swept the country.

Protests first broke out late last month, after an anti-immigrant misinformation campaign stoked outrage over a stabbing attack that left three children dead in Southport, Northern England.

Over the weekend, crowds of far-right agitators set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers in two cities, leaving those inside trapped and terrified, while throngs of rioters in other cities damaged public buildings and clashed with police, throwing objects at officers and smashing their vehicles.
