UK Police on High Alert Amid Racist Attacks
News summary

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged police to remain on 'high alert' ahead of the weekend following days of violent racist attacks primarily targeting Muslims, Black people, and migrants. These attacks were incited by false online posts misidentifying the suspected killer of three girls in Southport as an Islamist migrant. The government has deployed an additional 1,000 specialized police officers and conducted swift judicial actions as deterrents, resulting in over 480 arrests and many cases being fast-tracked through the justice system. Counter-protests have helped quell some violence, but concerns remain that the start of the football season could spur further unrest. Authorities remain vigilant, prepared for any eventuality with ongoing threats of far-right violence and continued advertising of potential events online.
