  • UK Braces For More Unrest As Lists Of Anti-Immigrant Protests - And Counterprotests - Circulate Online<br>WALTHAMSTOW, ENGLAND - AUGUST 7: Anti-racism counter protesters assemble ahead of a potential anti-immigration protest on August 7, 2024 in Walthamstow, United Kingdom. A series of anti-immigrant protests and riots have swept the country in the week after a deadly knife attack in Southport, England, fuelled by false rumours that the suspect was an asylum seeker. In recent days, far-right groups on social media have circulated a list of more than 30 anti-immigration protests scheduled for tonight at asylum centres and immigration firms across the UK. It was unclear how many locations would attract sizeable crowds; in many locations, the group "Stand Up To Racism" had organised counterprotests ahead of the planned protests.
