A far-right mob set fire to a hotel in Rotherham that used to house migrants as police brace for more violence across the United Kingdom (UK) on Sunday (Aug 4). A report by the Independent said that masked rioters assembled outside a Hotel Inn Express hotel in Manvers, South Yorkshire, as they clashed with police. The report said that the rioters threw bricks and smashed windows as hotel guests looked on from the top floor. Violent protests involving hundreds of anti-immigration groups have erupted in towns and cities across Britain after three girls were killed in a knife attack at a children's dance class in Southport in north-west England last week. The murders were seized on by anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim groups as misinformation spread that the suspect was a radical Islamist migrant. Police have said the suspect was born in the UK. Citing media reports, the news agency Reuters reported that the suspect's family was Christian. Dozens arrested On Saturday, the police arrested dozens of people after protests across parts of England and Northern Ireland turned violent. Reuters reported that violent unrest broke out in cities across the UK, including Liverpool, Bristol, Hull and Stoke-on-Trent, as well as the town of Blackpool, with local police saying they had arrested at least 87 people. According to the police, shops and businesses were vandalised and looted, and a library in Liverpool was set on fire. Several police personnel have been injured in the clashes. The last time violent protests erupted across Britain was in 2011, when thousands of people took to the streets after police shot dead a Black man in London. PM Starmer sends a stern message to rioters On Sunday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he could guarantee that the far-right rioters would regret participating in the violent protests. "We will do whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice," Starmer said. "Be no doubt those who participated in this violence will face the full force of the law, the police will be making arrests, individuals will held on remand, charges will follow and convictions will follow," he added.
