After a period of far-right violence in Britain, tensions appeared to ease as police presence and counterprotesters deterred potential rioters at over 30 target sites linked to the migration system. The unrest was triggered by a knife attack that killed three young girls, leading to false online rumors about the perpetrator. Despite being a small and unpopular fringe, the violence spread to multiple towns and cities, prompting arrests and court cases. The unrest included attacks on mosques, clashes with police, and damage to businesses. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the riots, and a peaceful memorial was held a week after the attack.
