United Kingdom's Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Friday that the British government remains on "high alert going into this weekend" in anticipation of potential further far-right demonstrations.
"I'm absolutely convinced that having the police officers in place these last few days, and the swift justice that has been dispensed in our courts have had a real impact," Starmer told Sky News.
In response to the Southport incident, in which three children lost their lives, a series of violent riots erupted throughout the UK. These protests were initially triggered by the false identification of the perpetrator as a Muslim asylum seeker. As a result, nearly 400 individuals have been apprehended thus far, with the first two individuals being convicted yesterday on charges of violent disorder.
