Britain's week of flame

Balaclava-clad baying mob storm migrant hotel, hurl chairs at riot police and set fire to furniture while terrified asylum seekers watch on from rooms in latest violent riots, writes The Daily Mail.

Britain was ablaze again last night as shameless far-right thugs took to the streets to torch buildings and loot shops in another night of violent chaos.

Anarchy descended onto the streets of Liverpool, Hull, Manchester and Belfast as riots broke out once more, with police forces across the country bracing for disorder again tonight.

A community library on the Merseyside that only opened last year after months of fundraising was set on fire as more than 300 people descended on the streets of a deprived city suburb.

It comes as the country has been engulfed by a week of violent riots, sparked by the Southport stabbing frenzy at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party left three little girls dead on Monday.

A number of social messages during the week had been shared asking for people to gather and block roads in the greater Belfast area and elsewhere in the wake of the murders of three young children in Southport.

An angry far-right mob have stormed into a hotel housing migrants and asylum seekers, hurling chairs and releasing fire extinguishers on riot police, while setting bins and furniture alight.

Violent anti-immigration protesters clad in balaclavas and draped in St George's flags have clashed with officers trying to protect the Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

It marks yet another day of violent riots of Britain's streets, after chaos ensued this week leaving cops with broken bones, cars set on fire and innocent pedestrians targeted on the streets. The outburst comes after three young girls were stabbed to death in Southport.

An anti-racism counter protest at the scene has increased tensions for police, who arrived to find banners reading: 'Refugees welcome: Stop the far right.'

Elsewhere in Middlesborough, more than 300 protesters started marching towards the city's Cenotaph.

They carried a banner that read: 'Tom Jones is Welsh, Axel Rudakubana isn't' Rudakubana is the 17-year-old accused for murdering the three little girls in Southport and is charged with attempted murder of 10 others.

His parents were born in Rwanda before moving to the UK in 2002. Rudakubana was born in Cardiff in 2006 before moving to near Southport in 2013.

Others marching through the city chanted 'we want our country back' as they made their way through the city centre.

Tensions boiled over after misinformation about the identity of who was responsible was spread, with mass mayhem breaking out in towns and cities across the country, with anti-immigration protesters taking to the streets.

There was violence on Saturday in towns and cities such as Hull, Liverpool, Stoke-on-Trent, Nottingham, Bristol, Manchester, Blackpool and Belfast, which saw several police officers injured. It followed a riot in Sunderland on Friday evening.

In Liverpool, Merseyside Police said about 300 people were involved in violent disorder on County Road, Walton, which included community facilities being set on fire.

A total of 23 people were arrested on Saturday, Merseyside Police said, including 12 arrests for the disorder in the city centre, nine arrests for the disorder on County Road and two arrests in connection with the disorder in Southport.

In Hull, Humberside Police said there were 20 people arrested, three police officers injured and shops looted and burned after a mob attacked a hotel housing asylum seekers.

Protesters tried to kick down police officer's riot gear, while other demonstrators threw objects at their shields.

Looters took advantage of the chaos, stealing phones, shoes and wine from the shelves of every-day stores, smashing their windows with bricks and stones.

In Liverpool, shameless yobs squealed 'get the phones! Get the phones!' as a group surrounded and battered their way into a phone repair and vape shop in the city centre.

Kicking the shutters with the feet and wrenching them up in a wild frenzy, the mob battered at the glass with what appeared to be a bollard before leaving the road outside strewn with packaging after they emptied the shelves.

Businesses were targeted in Belfast where police mounted a significant security operation during a lengthy confrontation between anti-Islamic protesters and those taking part in an anti-racist rally at Belfast City Hall during which fireworks and other missiles were thrown.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said they were treating reports of criminal damage as hate crimes and had made two arrests.

Arrests have been made across the country, with police warning of more to come once CCTV, social media and body-worn camera footage has been scoured.

Photos and videos from this week show vehicles set on fire, police officers injured, bricks thrown and violent clashes between protesters and officers.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the police have his 'full support' to take action against 'extremists' attempting to 'sow hate' by intimidating communities as he held emergency talks with ministers over the unrest in parts of England.

Assistant Chief Constable Mike Walker said: 'The right to lawful protest is a part of democracy, which my officers upheld, however, we will not accept the senseless vandalism, antisocial behaviour and sheer violence that has been brought to our streets.'

Lancashire Police said more than 20 people were arrested and dispersal orders were issued in parts of Blackpool, Preston and Blackburn.
