Violence in Britain

The British government has assembled a national crisis team in response to unrest in England and Northern Ireland, some of which is far-right.

Members of the government cabinet and representatives of the police are participating in the emergency meeting today. According to security authorities, more than 400 people have been arrested in the unrest since Saturday.

Prime Minister Starmer spoke of right-wing hooliganism and threatened the rioters with legal consequences.

The background to the unrest is fake news following the violent deaths of three children in Southport. It was reported online that the suspect was an asylum seeker and a Muslim. However, according to police, the 17-year-old was born in the United Kingdom. His parents are said to be from Rwanda.

The 17-year-old, born in Cardiff (Wales) to Rwandan parents, has been arrested and charged with three murders, another 10 for attempted murder and one for possession of a knife.

He was sent to a juvenile detention center and will appear in court in October.

The Minister of the Interior condemns the "shameful scenes"

Speaking on a UK morning TV show on Monday morning, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper promised to "bring to account" those responsible for what she called the "disgraceful scenes".

"No one should have to put up with this," she said. "A lot of people have concerns and opinions about crime, about the NHS [National Health Service], about immigration, but they don't pick up bricks and throw them at the police, they don't try to 'they set fire to a hotel where people are known to be in, they don't rob shops.'

Cooper said those involved in the riots "do not represent Britain" and praised people helping to clean up and repair the damage.

"Across the country, we've seen people coming out to our cities to clean up, to make sure they can rebuild the wall in front of the mosque, to make sure they can clean up the rubble and the damage left by the fires," he said. she. "These are the people who represent Britain."

What happened over the weekend?

Police in the northern English town of Rotherham on Sunday tried to stop a group of far-right activists who entered a hotel where asylum seekers were believed to be staying.

Images broadcast on British television showed officers wearing shields being attacked by a volley of blows outside the Holiday Inn Express hotel in Rotherham, near Sheffield.

Minutes later, protesters can be seen storming the building and taking chairs from inside to use as weapons.

A small fire can be seen even after the windows of the hotel were broken. At least one police officer was injured in the clash.

Late on Sunday, Staffordshire Police said another hotel known to have hosted asylum seekers was attacked near Birmingham.

A "large group of individuals" have "smashed windows, set fire and targeted police" at a hotel in the city of Tamworth, with one police officer injured, according to the statement.

There were more anti-immigration protests and counter-demonstrations in other countries as well.

British PM says far-right protesters will 'repent'

Prime Minister Starmer condemned the attack on hotels housing asylum seekers, calling the attackers a "far-right group".

"We will do whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice," Starmer said.

"Mosques are attacked because they are mosques: the far right is showing who it is. We need to show who we are in response."

The unrest is seen as the first major test for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer since taking office less than a month ago.

Police believe the English Anti-Islamic Defense League is behind the violence.
