Abstract
- Violent anti-immigration protests have erupted in several major cities in the United Kingdom, resulting in damaged buildings, injured police officers, and fires. The protests were sparked by false rumors spread on social media about a knife attack, falsely attributed to an undocumented Muslim migrant. The demonstrations have spread to different cities, with clashes between protesters and police occurring. The protests do not appear to be organized by a central group, and disinformation online has played a significant role in fueling the violence. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned the protests and vowed to bring those involved to justice. [Extracted from the article]
