Far-right groups in the UK planned violent demonstrations targeting asylum seekers and immigration lawyer offices after anti-immigration conspiracy theories sparked rioting.
Specialist police officers were mobilized to handle the unrest, described as one of the worst disorder situations in the UK in over a decade by Prime Minister Kier Starmer.
Riots started following a knife attack at a dance class falsely rumored to be committed by a Muslim immigrant, leading to attacks on mosques and attempts to set hotels housing asylum seekers on fire.
