Thousands of riot police were on standby Wednesday as Britain continued to be on high alert for further violent far-right protests nationwide. Since the murder of three children on July 29, nightly riots have occurred in various English towns and cities, targeting mosques and migrant facilities. Police anticipated over 100 demonstrations related to the unrest on Wednesday, including potential counter-protests from anti-fascist groups. Courts have imposed jail sentences on offenders as authorities attempt to prevent new disturbances. According to leaked messages on Telegram, immigration lawyers and buildings housing asylum seekers are primary targets for far-right agitators. The government has mobilized 6,000 specialist police to manage the situation, with nearly 430 arrests and at least 120 charges reported so far. The violence erupted following the fatal stabbing of three girls and critical injuries to five other children during a dance class in Southport, northwest England. Initial false social media claims suggested the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker, but the suspect was later identified as a 17-year-old Welsh-born individual with Rwandan parents. Despite the clarification, the initial unrest in Southport focused on a mosque, and subsequent widespread violence has affected England and Northern Ireland. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned that anyone involved in the violence, including those inciting it online, will face severe legal consequences. He has promised swift sentencing for the rioters. Numerous defendants, including teenagers, have already faced the courts. On Wednesday, a man was sentenced to three years for violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker in Southport. Two other men received sentences of 20 and 30 months for their involvement in violent acts in Liverpool. The prosecutor highlighted that these sentences are just the beginning of a rigorous legal process for those involved in the unrest. The recent rioting, described as Britain's worst since the 2011 London riots, has prompted several countries to issue travel warnings for the UK. Demonstrators have engaged in violent acts such as throwing bricks and flares at police, burning cars, and attacking mosques and hotels used for asylum seekers. The newly formed government has pledged a strong response to the unrest, including the provision of additional prison spaces. Police have linked the disorder to figures associated with the former English Defence League (EDL), a far-right group known for its anti-Islam stance. EDL founder Tommy Robinson has been accused of exacerbating tensions, and Cypriot police have indicated readiness to assist UK authorities if necessary. The protests have been promoted on far-right social media platforms under the slogan "Enough is enough." UK lawmakers have criticized social media sites for their role in escalating the violence, with tech mogul Elon Musk drawing government ire for provocative tweets suggesting an impending British civil war.
