ALBAWABA - Amid intensifying anti-Islam and anti-immigration riots, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that he will be holding an emergency meeting with police chiefs later today.
Violent protests have erupted in several towns and cities across England after three girls were killed in a stabbing attack while they were attending a dance class in the seaside town of Southport.
The Met Police have arrested 420 people so far, with anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim groups continuing to storm the streets as misinformation spread online that the suspected attacker was a radical Islamist who had just arrived in Britain.
The suspect responsible for the horrific killing of the 3 children in Southport, Northern England, has been identified by British officials as 17-year-old Axel Rudakobana, a Christian from Rwanda. Three charges of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder have been brought against Rudakobana.
Judge Andrew Menary KC made the announcement at a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court to debunk a common misconception that incorrectly linked the attack to a Muslim or an undocumented immigrant.
Over the weekend, riots rose up in Belfast, Liverpool, Bristol, Tamworth, Middlesbrough, and Northern Ireland. The majority of the protesters were young men, dressed in British flags and balaclavas hats, who threw rocks and yelled, "Stop the Boats," a reference to the recent influx of migrants to the south coast.
Protesters attempted to break into a motel that accommodated asylum seekers in Rotherham, in northern England.
