Riots have swept Britain over recent days, and more outbreaks of far-right, anti-immigrant violence are feared this week, leaving the new UK government scrambling to control the worst disorder in more than a decade.
Police officers were injured in Plymouth on Monday night as angry crowds descended on the coastal city in southwest England.
The latest outbreak of violence came after crowds of far-right agitators set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers over the weekend in two cities, leaving those inside trapped and terrified, while throngs of rioters in other cities damaged public buildings and clashed with police, throwing objects at officers and smashing their vehicles.
Protests first broke out late last month, after an anti-immigrant misinformation campaign stoked outrage over a stabbing attack that left three children dead in Southport, northern England.
The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service said on Tuesday that prosecutors have already charged around 100 people over the violent unrest.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer chaired his first COBRA session on Monday morning – an emergency meeting of national agencies and branches of government – to discuss the response to the disorder, and Downing Street said he would host another on Tuesday evening. “This is not protest,” he said on Sunday. “It is organized, violent thuggery and it has no place on our streets, or online.”
The riots are the first crisis for Starmer, who became Britain’s leader a month ago after his Labour Party unseated the Conservatives in a general election. His next steps will be closely watched by lawmakers and the public.
