Stand Up for Southport

News summary

In Southport, a night of violence erupted following a peaceful vigil for three young girls killed in a knife attack, with members of the far-right English Defence League (EDL) allegedly involved. Rioters attacked police and the Southport Islamic Society Mosque, throwing bricks and setting vehicles on fire, chanting slogans such as 'No surrender'. The unrest was fueled by rumors surrounding the identity of the attacker, leading to chaos in the community. Local residents have since organized a significant clean-up effort, showcasing community resilience and solidarity. In response to the tragic events, community leaders and Sefton Council have pledged support for those affected and urged against speculation that could hinder the ongoing investigation. A vigil is planned for Tuesday to further unite the community in remembrance and support for the victims.
