The police in cities across Britain were bracing on Sunday for the spread of far-right and anti-immigration protests, a day after dozens of people were arrested in another day of unrest after a stabbing in a northern town last week. Protests in cities including Liverpool and Manchester descended into riots on Saturday, prompting a heavy police response in cities across the country.
The National Police Chiefs' Council, which represents law enforcement across Britain, has said that nearly 4,000 additional officers had been deployed to deter the violence. The police have our full backing, Yvette Cooper, the British home secretary, said on Saturday. I want everyone to be clear. Anyone who gets involved in criminal disorder, violent thuggery on our streets will have to pay the price.
