Misinformation campaign fuels violence after vigil for three girls killed in stabbing
A police van set alight as trouble flares during a protest in Southport, after three children died and eight were injured in a "ferocious" knife attack during a Taylor Swift event at a dance school on Monday, July 31, 2024

CHILDREN sweeping away debris around the Southport mosque joined the community today in standing against those who brought division and violence to the streets the night before.

Hundreds of far-right hooligans rioted on Tuesday night after a vigil for three girls killed in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.

They smashed a mosque window, looted local shops and set cars on fire.
