Recent violent protests in northern England have shocked the nation as rioters set fire to and vandalized hotels used to shelter asylum seekers. The unrest was sparked by the stabbing of three young girls in Southport, northwest England, which led to the spread of disinformation by far-right groups.
Protesters targeted two Holiday Inns in Tamworth and Rotherham, causing chaos and destruction. In Tamworth, projectiles were thrown, windows smashed, and fires started, resulting in injuries to a police officer. Meanwhile, in Rotherham, rioters used various tactics to gain entry to the hotel, terrifying residents and staff.
