Violent protests in the UK, such as those at a hotel housing asylum seekers in Epping, Essex, in recent days, demonstrate how the far right is intensifying the use of misinformation, aided by an unshackled social media realm, to spread fear, hate and calls for action that could explode into riots throughout the country. The latest protests erupted almost exactly a year after the violent riots in Southport and clashes in various UK cities in the wake of the shocking killings of three young girls who were stabbed to death at a dance class.
