UK riots: 400 arrested amid far-right violence and clashes with police

Around 400 people have been arrested and some have been appearing in court today over violence in Sheffield, Sunderland, Liverpool, Southport, Hartlepool and Belfast.

Yesterday far-right troublemakers targeted hotels containing asylum seekers.

One was in Tamworth, a few miles north of here.

In another in Rotherham they tried to set a Holiday Inn on fire with people still inside it.

People are not afraid of this "Far-Right" label anymore. Government and media did this.

Why these people don't seek asylum in muslim countries? Being British doesn't mean being far right.

If its no longer a safe place you cant take any more asylem seekers then

A country attacking its own citizens and protecting illegal outsiders?

Anyone remember the police pushing over old ladies because they were protesting against covid lockdowns? I remember.

The true tragedy is that the murdered little girls will be sidelined by the media frenzy over the demonstrations. 😢

As usual, politicians taking no blame but blaming everyone else!!!

This is what happens if hatred towards other groups is not anticipated, while England is busy financing war and protecting Israel, they forget about the welfare of young British people.

Asylum Seekers/Refugees in Hotels ? This would make locals fume. Why put them in hotels? Politicians clearly have no idea what they are doing! They should all be forced to step down.

Same thing more or less across the entire Anglosphere where governments are not working for their citizens.

Those people in the streets are tired of paying for their Hotel rooms while their families are having to do without.

I’m from Poland, and I have to say, my father must be turning in his grave. He was a fan and hooligan from the 80s and 90s and always spoke with admiration about your guys and what happened in those days. Your hooligans were the best in Europe; you shook the entire continent and had respect. But now, all of Europe is laughing at you because you let yourselves get spit on in your own country.
