Anti-Immigration Protest Rages On In UK

Violent protests involving hundreds of anti-immigration groups have erupted in towns and cities across England after three girls were killed in a knife attack at a children's dance class in Southport in north west England last week.

Far right thugs clashed with riot police and multiple incidents of ethnic minorities being attacked on the streets have been reported.
