The wave of violent unrest and disorder across parts of the UK continued on Monday night as police came under attack in Belfast, Darlington and Plymouth.

Six people were arrested in Plymouth while several officers suffered minor injuries in the violence, Devon and Cornwall Police said.

In South Belfast, riot officers had stones and petrol bombs thrown at them in an area close to a supermarket which was set on fire at the weekend.

Earlier, a vigil was held for the victims of a mass stabbing in Southport last week which sparked the unrest. Nearly 400 people have been arrested since the rioting began.

    " a vigil was held for the victims of a mass stabbing in Southport last week which sparked the unrest" - just to be clear the stabbing sparked the unrest, not the vigil. BBC reporting just gets worse and worse.

    I understand people are angry at the individual idiot who killed 3 girls, but honestly! What are these rioters trying to accomplish?
    Is this what Nigel Farage has been trying to incite for a decade now? While at the same time literally claiming Brits are the most decent people in the world!

      Th person who killed them was neither a muslim and neither an emigrant. The incident is just an excuse to show their racisism
