Far-right riots flare in Sunderland amid ongoing UK anti-immigrant protests

Al Jazeera  

Police say officers faced ‘serious and sustained levels of violence’ after several hundred people rampaged in Sunderland’s city centre. Northumbria Police Chief Superintendent Helena Barron said officers on Friday faced “serious and sustained levels of violence” after several hundred people rampaged in Sunderland’s city centre, attacking police and setting fire to at least one car and a building next to a police office. Atkinson said he was “really sad” for Sunderland after a group of “racists” descended on the city on Friday evening and attacked police officers and targeting a mosque. “Violent protesters targeted a mosque and the police, causing chaos and fear,” the Muslim Council of Britain said on X, welcoming Home Secretary Cooper’s condemnation. “It is imperative that such thuggish behaviour is addressed and prevented from recurring.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday met local leaders in Southport to discuss “a package of support for the local community”, his Downing Street office said, a day after he announced a new “national capability” to tackle disorder in the wake of the recent disturbances.
