Last weekend saw the continuation of violent far-right riots that have erupted across the country in the wake of a devastating attack in Southport that left three children dead and eight injured. A man was pictured raising a Nazi salute in Piccadilly Gardens, where a black man was chased and attacked by a gang of white men and women, protesters in Bolton set off missiles and threw bricks at police, and rioters gathered outside hotels housing asylum seekers in Bredbury and Newton Heath. Greater Manchester Police made 19 arrests in connection with the violence over the weekend, and Andy Burnham has promised that the force will “pursue every legal means to prevent a repeat” of what happened. Some politicians have cast blame on the supposedly-defunct English Defence League, but is there truly one single organiser of the riots?


Recommendations:


Southport mourns. Then burns, The Post

I thought we’d die in Southport Mosque. I almost jumped, The Sunday Times
