2024 Riots 7th August

[edit]

Connecting with the 2024_United_Kingdom_riots#7 August Red Flare uncovered a number of protest leading to the mass mobilisation. https://x.com/redflareinfo/status/1820430972422144198 I am unable to find any news articles that validated this was the original source and would appreciate anyone who can find any news articles which I am unable to find at this time.

Nothing I can see in RSs. The Sun (unreliable) says "Evil far-right agitators have posted instructions in the group telling thugs to attack the centres at specific times. One post in the group was seen by more than 125,000 people in just two hours, The Times reports. Investigation group Red Flare said the channel also features harrowing calls to murder ethnic minority Brits and government ministers. Other members of the group have shared vile instructions on how to make petrol bombs."
Somewhat more reliable Middle East Eye cites Red Flare but not as the source for the list: "While the police attributed the Southport riot to the English Defence League (EDL), far-right watchdogs have said that the riots are not being organised by a formal group... 'The EDL hasn’t been able to mobilise the kind of numbers it did 10 years ago,' a spokesperson for the far-right monitoring group Red Flare told Middle East Eye. According to Red Flare, former EDL activists, as well as members of its offshoots such as Patriotic Alternative and North East Infidels, have been identified at several of last week’s riots. However, the watchdog emphasised that the events are primarily being orchestrated by informal networks via social media platforms." BobFromBrockley (talk) 17:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
