In United Kingdom, thousands of anti-racism protesters took to the streets across the country to counter far-right demonstrations after days of unrest following Southport stabbing.
A large number of anti-racist protesters swarmed streets in cities and towns like London, Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Liverpool, Hastings and Walthamstow. Meanwhile, the British government has deployed heavy police force to maintain order and counter far-right demonstrations in the country.
The protests against the immigrant population are being held for the past few days, resulting in police officers being injured, stores being looted, and hotels housing asylum-seekers being stormed.
The unrest was sparked by online disinformation that wrongly claimed the suspect who killed three children in Southport, northwest England, at the end of last month was an immigrant.
