Violent disorder and ‘intimidating behaviour’ has been seen across the country in the wake of the atrocity in Merseyside
Riots and unrest have broken out in a number of cities and towns across England after the murder of three young girls in a multiple stabbing at a Taylor Swift-inspired holiday club in Southport on Monday.
The teenager, who was born in Cardiff, appeared in court on Thursday charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon. Judge Andrew Menary KC said the unrest in parts of the country after the attack was one reason why it was in the public interest for his name to be released.
Five people have so far been arrested by Merseyside police, which said the disorder was organised by sympathisers of the far-right English Defence League, although the group has not had a regular active role in protests for years.More than 100 demonstrators were arrested after clashes with officers in Whitehall on Wednesday night.
Dame Lynne Owens, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, condemned the “hateful behaviour” towards officers.A police car was set alight and a mosque came under attack as the unrest spread to Hartlepool, in the north-east of England, on Wednesday night. About 40 people, which the paper reported included children and men wearing balaclavas, gathered outside the Oldham Road premises in what the Manchester Evening News said “appeared to be a stand against asylum seekers currently being housed in the hotel”.
