Far-Right Groups Clash with Police as Unrest Spreads Across UK

Aug 3, 2024 | Far-Right groups have clashed with police in cities across Britain during a fourth day of unrest.

In Manchester, fighting broke out in Piccadilly Gardens as officers drew their batons to move a crowd back. Some in the crowd shouted “get out”, “f--- off” and “who the f--- is Allah?” to a small group of young Muslim women who were led away for their own safety by police.

Footage on social media also appeared to show far-Right groups in Stoke throwing stones in the direction of police. Violent skirmishes have also broken out between rival groups in Belfast. More demonstrations are taking place in Liverpool, Hull and Portsmouth.
