LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned far-right demonstrators after outbreaks of violence in London and elsewhere following the killing of three young girls in Southport, northwest England.
"As far as the far-right is concerned, this is coordinated, this is deliberate," he told a press conference, referring to the violent clashes this week.
"This is not a protest that just got out of hand. It is a group of individuals who are who are absolutely bent on violence."
