Riots over the death of three girls in Southport
After the death of the three minors at the hands of a young teenager of Rwandan origin, but born in Wales, numerous protests were called in England and later throughout the United Kingdom. The first demonstrations went as far as attacking a mosque in Southport, as the demonstrations channeled the British population's hatred and disgust with mass immigration.
The demonstrations sparked street fights and clashes between ethnic and religious communities across Britain, including Northern Ireland. Keir Starmer;s Labour government was quick to crack down on anti-immigration demonstrations and dissident messages on social networks.
