UK Riots Live: England is facing its worst rioting in 13 years following anti-immigration protests triggered by a mass stabbing that claimed the lives of three young girls in Southport. The unrest, fueled by misinformation and anti-immigration feelings, has spread to various towns and cities, including Rotherham and Manchester.
The violence erupted after a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in Southport, near Liverpool, on Monday. Misinformation online falsely claimed that the suspect was an asylum-seeker, which incited anger among far-right supporters. This led to attacks on mosques, the torching of a library, and the throwing of flares at a statue of wartime leader Winston Churchill.
