UK PM Starmer condemns 'far-right thuggery' as unrest flares again
LONDON - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday condemned what he described as"far-right thuggery" after days of violent anti-immigration protests culminated in an attack on a hotel, saying perpetrators would face the full force of the law.
On Sunday, hundreds of anti-immigration protesters gathered by a hotel near Rotherham, northern England, which Britain's interior minister said was housing asylum seekers. "It doesn't matter what apparent motivation there is. This is violence, this is not protest," he said. In both Rotherham and the northwest town of Lancaster, there were anti-racist protesters, with police keeping the two groups apart.
