Heure Actuelle à Southport, Royaume-Uni — BST.

From 30 July to 5 August 2024, far-right anti-immigration protests and riots occurred in England and Northern Ireland, within the United Kingdom. This followed a mass stabbing of girls at a dance class in Southport on 29 July in which three children were killed. The riots were fuelled by false claims circulated by far-right groups, as well as politicians such as Nigel Farage, that the perpetrator of the attack was a Muslim and an asylum seeker, in addition to broader Islamophobic, racist, and anti-immigrant sentiments that had grown leading up to the protests. The disorder, including racist attacks, arson and looting, was the largest incident of social unrest in England since 2011. By 8 August at least 177 had been imprisoned in relation to the unrest, with sentences averaging around two years and ranging up to nine years. The following month 1,280 arrests and nearly 800 charges had been made, and as of July 2025, the number of arrests increased to 1,840 with 1,103 charges.
