Thousands of UK riot police on Wednesday stood ready to deal with more potential outbreaks of violence, which erupted more than a week ago after three children were murdered.
Far-right groups have planned demonstrations in more than 30 locations, with immigration lawyers and buildings hosting asylum seekers set to be the primary targets, according to posts on messaging app Telegram leaked to the British media.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer late Tuesday warned anyone involved would face 'the full force of the law', including those inciting violence online.
Starmer, a former chief state prosecutor, said he expected 'substantive sentencing before the end of this week' for the rioters, after chairing his second emergency meeting in as many days on Tuesday.
