Protests in the United Kingdom continued for a seventh straight day on Monday, after three young girls were stabbed to death last week.
Protests continued across the United Kingdom on Monday after days of riots in response to the stabbing deaths of three young girls last week, which have plunged the country into the worst unrest it has seen in years. In one video that surfaced on social media, a mob of Palestinian flag-carrying rioters were seen swarming a couple of hatchback vehicles in Birmingham while a man shouted into a bullhorn and directed the crowd on what to do.
Starmer blamed the violence on misinformation spread on social media that sparked outrage over a stabbing that left three young girls dead and others wounded at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event in the town of Southport. The false social media posts claimed that the suspected attacker was a radical Islamist who had recently arrived in Britain, Reuters reported.
spokesperson for Starmer said on Monday that social media companies have not done enough to prevent the spread of misinformation and that some of that false and misleading information has come from foreign states. Fox News Digital's Bradford Betz and Stephen Sorace as well as the Associated Press contributed to this report.
