Prime Minister Starmer called an emergency meeting. “The signal is strong”

The third consecutive meeting with the services is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. The Prime Minister announced his intention to organise the event after visiting a mosque in the West Midlands, where he told the media it was “a strong signal to the protesters”. He also said it was “important that we don’t give up”.

Earlier, Prime Minister Starmer also met with key Cabinet members, including the Deputy Prime Minister, Home Secretary and Justice Secretary, to discuss public disorder and growing urban unrest.

Starmer stressed that “the right to free speech and the violent disorder we have witnessed are two completely different things”, adding that there is “no excuse for violence of any kind”.

Britain plunged into chaos. First verdict passed after riots

The first trial of a man accused of inciting street protests got underway in Liverpool on Thursday, with John O’Malley, 43, sentenced to 32 months in prison for organising a riot outside a Southport mosque on July 30, the day after the stabbing attack.

The judge said O’Malley was the leader of a “screaming crowd” that threw bricks. “You participated in this with great enthusiasm,” he told the defendant as he read the verdict.

William Nelson Morgan, 69, also appeared in court in Liverpool. He was jailed for 32 months for violent disorder and six months for possessing a dangerous weapon after taking part in a protest in Liverpool last Saturday.

The riots in the UK

Demonstrations took place in Liverpool, Bristol, Nottingham, Leeds, Blackpool, Hull, Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester and Belfast. Counter-demonstrations took place in some of these cities, which usually attract larger numbers of participants. The most violent unrest took place in Liverpool, where demonstrators attacked police with rocks, bottles and cans, leaving two officers hospitalized. Clashes broke out between far-right supporters and left-wing counter-demonstrators in Bristol and Nottingham. In Hull, protesters tried to attack a hotel where illegal immigrants seeking asylum were staying.

The wave of anti-Islamic, anti-racist and far-right protests was the result of the murder of 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, who was born in the UK but of Rwandan descent. The events were caused by false rumors and it was later proven that the perpetrator was a Muslim asylum seeker who arrived in the UK illegally.
