Lies sparked the worst violence the UK has seen in a decade

The UK's worst riots in over a decade were sparked by the murder of 3 young girls at a dance class in Southport. False claims on social media claimed the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker, leading to violence targeting mosques and asylum hotels. The real suspect is a 17-year-old born in Wales. The unrest highlights deep-seated issues with social cohesion, immigration, and crime, culminating in far-right extremism.
