UK police brace for more far-right protests as government warns of tough response

LONDON (AP) Several suspects arrested in violent protests following the stabbing deaths of three children in northwest England appeared in court Friday, with officials bracing for more clashes sparked by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's condemnation and condemnation of far-right hate.

Starmer has pledged to put an end to the chaos and said he would give police across England more resources to stop law and order collapsing on our streets.

Online protests with slogans such as “Enough is enough”, “Save our children” and “Stop the boats” are planned for the next few days in cities including Sunderland, Belfast, Cardiff, Liverpool and Manchester.

John Woodcock, the British government's adviser on political violence and disorder, said there had been an organised and coordinated attempt to spread violence.

He told the BBC that some on the far right were interested in this and wanted to make similar things happen in cities across Britain.

The attack on children attending a Taylor Swift-themed summer dance class on Monday shocked a country where knife crime is a long-standing and troubling problem, although mass stabbings are rare.

Axel Rudakubana, 17, has been charged with murder in connection with the attacks that killed Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Bebe King, six, in the north-west English coastal town of Southport. He has also been charged with 10 counts of attempted murder of eight children and two adults who were injured.

Starmer visited Southport for the second time this week on Thursday, meeting police, community leaders and residents before visiting the children's hospital where many of the victims are being treated.

His office announced a vague aid package aimed at helping victims and bringing communities closer together, but did not say how that would be accomplished or how it would be funded.

The violent protest in Southport on Tuesday was followed by other demonstrations across the country, partly fuelled by online misinformation that the attacker was Muslim and an immigrant. Rudakubana was born in Britain to Rwandan parents and lived near the scene of the attack.

In Britain, it is customary not to name suspects under the age of 18, but Judge Andrew Mennery ordered that Rudakubana's identity be revealed, partly to stop the spread of misinformation.

Far-right protesters have staged several violent demonstrations in response to the attacks, clashing with police outside a mosque in Southport on Tuesday and throwing beer cans, bottles and flares near the prime minister's office in London the following day.

Muslim Council of Britain general secretary Zara Mohammed said violence following the Southport attack had left Muslim communities on edge and hundreds of mosques across the country were beefing up security.

Muslim, Jewish and Christian leaders gathered at the Southport Mosque to pledge to unite against all forms of hate and extremism in our country.

Merseyside Police, which covers Southport, said it had so far arrested seven people and sent in a team of experts to review hundreds of hours of footage to identify those involved.

“If you're involved in an incident like this, officers are going to be knocking on your door,” said Detective Chief Tony Roberts.

Police officers were attacked with bottles and eggs in the town of Hartlepool, northeast England, on Wednesday.

So far, 16 people have been arrested in connection with the disturbance, including an 11-year-old boy accused of setting fire to a police car. A 13-year-old boy and a woman have also been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.

Five of those arrested were remanded in custody after appearing at Teesside Magistrates Court on suspicion of violent disorder. Two others admitted their involvement in the disorder and were bailed until sentencing next month.

Ryan Sears, who prosecutors say was bitten by a police dog after repeatedly trying to push back a line of police officers, broke down in tears during the trial.

Outside court, Sears, who worked at McDonald's, denied any involvement, although he admitted it in court.

Sheers said they had nothing to do with anything. We didn't destroy the village.

The prime minister told a news conference on Thursday that street violence was clearly fuelled by far-right hate, and announced a program to help police better share intelligence between agencies and make arrests more quickly.

This is orchestrated and deliberate, Starmer said. This is not a protest that has gotten out of control. This is a group of individuals who are completely resorting to violence.

Starmer said his so-called national violent disorder programme would allow police to move through communities like marauding rioters, using facial recognition technology to identify criminals and criminal behaviour orders, often issued to football hooligans, to prevent them from going to certain places or associating with each other.

Starmer placed some responsibility on social media companies but did not announce any measures to address the problem, saying there must be a balance between the value they provide and the threat they pose.

Violent disorder is clearly promoted online, and that is a crime. It happens in your building, he said.
