ANTI-FASCIST protests are set to take place across Britain this weekend following a surge of far-right riots fuelled by rampant disinformation. 

Right-wing groups have seized on the fatal stabbing of three young girls in Southport to stir up hatred and incite riots that have led to more than 100 arrests.

Following unrest in Southport on Wednesday, hundreds rioted in Hartlepool centring on a street with two mosques.
