The former attorney general during the 2011 riots has warned recent far right violence should be a wake up call for the country's broken justice system. Dominic Grieve praised the rapid convictions in recent days of those who took part in the violence, saying they had used similar tactics in 2011, adding that the authorities had risen to the occasion.
