Recall that at the end of July, mass protests broke out in many cities across Britain after a 17-year-old teenager committed a massacre during a group lesson for children in the town of Southport. Three children died, several other children and two adults were taken to hospital in critical condition.
The attacker turned out to be from a family of Rwandan immigrants. The protests, led by far-right groups, led to clashes with the police and riots. Hundreds of people were arrested and dozens of police officers were injured.
