UK PM condemns far-right for violent demonstrations after Southport stabbing

China Daily  

Police officers detain a demonstrator during a protest against illegal immigration outside of Downing Street in London Britain on July 31. LONDON -- The United Kingdom's Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday condemned far-right demonstrators for the violent disorder seen in parts of the country after a deadly knife attack in Southport on Monday. Online misinformation about the teenager's identity, targeting immigrants and Muslims, is thought to have fueled the violent protests in Southport, Hartlepool, and London. Since the attack, far-right activists have held several violent protests, which saw a mosque in Southport being attacked, and a police car in Hartlepool set on fire. "Let me also say to large social media companies and those who run them: violent disorder, clearly whipped up online, is also a crime, it's happening on your premises, and the law must be upheld everywhere," he said.
