Britain is bracing itself for another day of violent unrest with nearly 30 potential rallies planned, some by racist Telegram channels.
For more than a week now, far-right agitators have torn through the streets of major towns and cities, with groups sharing a hitlist of immigration centres to attack.
With 6,000 riot officers mobilised, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said yesterday rioters will be handed ‘substantive’ prison sentences ‘before the end of this week’.
So far more than 400 people have been arrested and 100 have been charged. An 18-year-old was sent to prison for two months yesterday for his part in disorder in Bolton, thought to be the first rioter to wind up behind bars.
It comes as 28 people appeared in a single court yesterday charged with violent disorder after Middlesbrough was torn apart by far-right riots.
