Protesters outside Downing Street set off flares and beer cans, leading to more than 100 arrests. The protest came after violent rioting disrupted a vigil in Southport for the three girls who died in a knife attack in the town earlier this week. Local police reported that some protesters were alleged sympathizers of the far-right and Islamophobic English Defense League. False information has circulated on social media that the suspect in the attack was an asylum seeker.
