Shocking immigrant riots which left the Leeds suburb of Harehills looking like a warzone have sparked calls for mass deportations.
Mobs of foreign thugs went on a violent rampage after police were called to a domestic disturbance on Luxor Street at about 5pm on Thursday, smashing police cars, attacking officers, and torching a bus in a part of the city where just 9.3% of the residents are White British, and the majority are from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Videos from the scene show large crowds of men, women and children, all of South Asian or Roma Gypsy appearance, rioting in the streets.
Two men were filmed setting the bus on fire, while others were seen overturning cars and throwing objects at police vehicles.
Authorities are yet to confirm the ethnicity of the family at the centre of the domestic disturbance, but multiple locals told reporters at the scene the children were Roma Gypsies, and that members of the Muslim community joined the rioting after the violence erupted.

West Yorkshire Police are now under fire for failing to stop the violence, not moving into the area until 1am on Friday, and fed-up locals are now calling for large-scale deportations.
“Disgrace! Keir Starmer, will you listen to us people of Leeds asking for mass deportations in Harehills, Lincoln Green and Burmontofts, we can’t cope with multiculturalism anymore! The police have zero control and these lot think it’s fun and games! DEPORT,” wrote local resident Laura Simpson on X.
“Harehills in Leeds looks like a warzone right now after a mob of migrants started rioting a few hours ago. Britain needs to start the Mass Deportations. Enough is enough,” said a social media user named Cillian.
“Leeds benefitting from some of that cultural enrichment that is supposedly our strength. The police have taken the knee and then run away. Mass deportations needed,” said Jack O Newbury.
“Islamic uprising in Harehills England. We need to send Pakis packing,” Barry Stanton said.

Nationalist activist and Patriotic Alternative leader Mark Collett wrote on his Telegram channel that he was familiar with the area, having campaigned in that ward for the British National Party in 2001.
“Harehills, an inner city area multicultural area in Leeds has yet again experienced rioting. This happened back in 2001 when I was in the British National Party. I was 21 at the time and I went to Harehills, I campaigned in the area, I asked White people to vote for me and I took just 5 per cent of the vote,” he wrote.
“Back then this was a wake up call: there are some areas of our country that have been completely colonised, Whites are already a tiny minority in those areas and we simply can’t win in those places. Worse still, these areas are hostile to White people and Whites who live there are under threat.
“These areas aren’t just places we can’t control, they are places that are hostile to us as a people. You cannot raise a family or live a fulfilling life in these conditions, and by attempting to do so, you doom yourself and your loved ones. My message is simple: leave these areas!”
According to the 2021 Census, the Harehills North geographical area, where Luxor Street is located, is just 9.3% White British. 27.8% of the population are Pakistani, 20.5% are Bangladeshi, 15.9% are black, 1.4% are Roma Gypsies, and the rest are non-British Whites, other South Asians, other ethnic groups, and mixed or multiple.

Witnesses told the BBC that the violence erupted when police attempted to take a number of children into state care, and rioting continued until late in the evening, with police staying away until well after midnight.
West Yorkshire Police said in a statement: “A large number of public order officers have been deployed to the location in what remains an ongoing incident.
“We wish to reassure residents we are responding to the disorder incidents which have taken place, and that appropriate specialist public order resources are attending.
“We would strongly discourage residents from speculating on the cause of this disorder which we believe has been instigated by a criminal minority intent on disrupting community relations.”

The UK’s new Labor government has scrapped the previous Conservative plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, but plans to set up a new unit to fast-track removals of rejected applicants.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also facing calls to deport the thousands of foreign criminals who make up one in every eight prisoners in Britain due to jails running out of room.
Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice said last week: “It is clearly ‘in the public good’ to deport all 10,000 nationals in our jails, both convicted and on remand.”
“This is the right thing to do in itself, and will free up space in our prison system that will mean that there will be no need for thousands of prisoners who have not completed their sentence to be released early.”
