THE GUARDIAN: Far-right protesters threw bricks at officers, set vehicles on fire and attacked mosque
Keir Starmer has said those who rioted in Southport on Tuesday night will “feel the full force of the law” after police vehicles were set alight and missiles hurled at officers.
It came after far-right protesters pelted police with glass bottles and bricks and attacked a mosque following a knife attack that killed three children.
The prime minister said they had “hijacked the vigil for the victims with violence and thuggery” and “insulted the community as it grieves”. (+ videos) » | Hannah Al-Othman, Josh Halliday, Nadeem Badshah and Vikram Dodd | Wednesday, July 31, 2024
