116 arrested in U.K. as violent far-right protests erupt over deadly stabbing
Briefly

At least 116 people were arrested in Britain following far-right demonstrations fueled by misinformation about a stabbing incident involving three children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. Violence erupted across cities, with authorities condemning the criminality and vandalism during protests.
The false narrative of the attacker being an illegal immigrant spread quickly post-stabbing, leading to anti-immigration protests and mosque targeting. Policing Minister Diana Johnson labeled the violent behavior as 'criminal disorder' orchestrated by 'thugs.'
