Chaos Hits British Town After Deadly Attack on Kids’ Event Sparks Residents’ Fury
Fury raged through the English community of Southport on Tuesday after a knife attack left three girls dead and multiple other people wounded.
The Southport Islamic Society Mosque was the focus of protests that led to clashes between rioters and police, according to GB News.
A police van was set ablaze while marchers chanted “No surrender” and “English ’till I die.”
Officials said 39 police officers were injured, eight seriously, amid rioting that saw an emergency vehicle torched, according to the BBC.

The unrest followed a Monday attack on a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in this community about 20 miles north of Liverpool.
