UK riots: Far-Right thugs plot to bring UK to standstill with 39 protests in a single day

Far-Right thugs are set on causing more chaos across the country on Wednesday and plan to stage 39 protests outside immigration lawyers officers, the Express can reveal.

In a message being spread amongst thousands of supporters on the encrypted messaging platform Telegram, seen by Express.co.uk, organisers told users to “mask up” for the demonstrations and “be there or be cowed.”

“They won’t stop coming until you tell them,” the text reads “no more Immigration.”

Offices being targeted vary in size and are spread across the near entirety of England. The choice to target them demonstrates a strategic shift by those attempting to co-ordinate the mayhem, so far the violent protests have focused on civic centres and migrant hotels.

“You can't just police by threats on the internet,” said the author of How To Be A Police Officer, “you could put officers on three different premises and they all go to a single one.

“I’ve had many times sitting outside [a potential target] where nothing happens and wondered ‘why am I even here?’ And it was because there was some mention that there might be an attack.

“[While you’re waiting] you can hear your colleagues coming and coming under intense and challenging situations.”

The plans come after a weekend of chaotic disorder across the country which saw anti-immigration rioters violently clash with police whilst setting fire to buildings and cars. Locations include parts of London, Essex, Merseyside and Yorkshire.

On Sunday, Rotherham and Tamworth both saw mobs descend on Holiday Inn buildings where migrants were believed to have been living, smashing windows and starting fires.

At the South Yorkshire riot, at least 10 officers were injured in the chaos as men wearing masks threw wood, chairs and bottles at the police before attempting to burn down the hotel.

A similar scene of disorder ripped through the Staffordshire town of Tamworth. Police were pelted with objects as the rioters smashed windows and started fires.

Up in Middlesborough, there were 43 arrests and serious damage to buildings close to the mosque which was also targeted.

Wettone said the weekend demonstrated how difficult it could be when so many different places had been listed for protests and felt criticism of police for the wreckage caused in Tamworth and Rotherham was unfair

“I’ve seen criticism of the police response to the hotel attacks, saying they were mentioned in online,” he continued.

“But if you go down to the tactic of just securing premises, then you've got less resources to deal with those attendees who turn up. So there's a balance there.

“If you don’t have enough resources to stay with the group. They might turn up see a load of police vans outside the premises and go attack somewhere else.”

The chaos followed disorder in towns and cities across the country on Saturday which capped a week of public disorder sparked by the murder of three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport, Merseyside.

Responding to the targeting of the legal profession with the latest wave of protests, Law Society of England and Wales president Nick Emmerson said his organisation had "serious concerns about the safety and wellbeing of our members" and condemned the violence which occurred over the weekend.

He told the Press Association the rallies at law firms were a "direct assault on our legal profession" adding that he had written to the Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Home Secretary "asking that the threats against the legal profession are treated with the utmost seriousness,

"It is paramount that justice is done for all those who have been involved in, or are victims of, the riots," he said.

In response to the chaos, Sir Keir Starmer is understood to have scheduled a Cobra emergency response meeting today.

Addressing the nation last night the Prime Minister has told those involved in the disorder would "regret” the "far-right thuggery" and vowed that they would "face the full force of the law."

Express.co.uk has contacted the relevant police forces for each area on the target list.

Police forces from across the country told the Express they were prepared for gatherings listed on the Telegram message.

Thames Valley Police said, “should any planned protests or spontaneous incidents escalate into violent disorder seen elsewhere in the country, officers will swiftly and robustly respond and deal with [them].”

It added that it “monitors a variety of sources including social media and reports from the public to identify planned protest or disruption in our area” and “have well-rehearsed plans in place to deal with any issues that may arise.”

Cleveland Police in the North East said it would have an increased presence in the coming days and would be “providing reassurance to residents and speaking to members of the public about their concerns.”

“We are aware of information currently in circulation on social media and other platforms about further activity in the area and we’re monitoring the situation closely,” the force added.

Sussex Police asked the public to “remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity or concerns”

The force also said it was reviewing information and working closely with local and national partners.
