A police station in Sunderland went up in flames overnight as protests sparked by the alleged stabbing murders of three young girls by a Rwandan teenager in Southport last week continue.
Violence erupted on Friday night when fed-up anti-immigration protesters were confronted by police in riot gear, and came after officers clashed with demonstrators in Southport, Hartlepool and London earlier in the week.
More “Enough is Enough” protests are planned for the coming days, while anger is growing across Britain over immigrant crime, relentless mass immigration and two-tiered policing – a phenomenon where police treat the native White British population more harshly than minority and left-wing groups.

A Spiked magazine editorial on Friday contrasted the response to last month’s riots in Harehills, Leeds, by Roma Gypsy and Muslim thugs where police retreated while terrified residents hid in their homes, with a London protest over the Southport stabbing last week which provoked a brutal crackdown and more than 100 arrests.
Other incidents mentioned by two-tier policing critics include the failure to stop Pakistani grooming gangs, the differing responses to pro-Palestine and Armistice Day rallies in London, the release of two Pakistani men who attacked officers at Manchester airport, and the jailing of nationalists for stickers while paedophiles walk free.
Activist Tommy Robinson, who has made a documentary on the phenomenon, wrote on X: “We want to know why the violent Muslim who battered 3 police officers including breaking a female officers nose is still walking the streets?
“Why did you release him, why is he not being held in prison . Your appeasement to the threats of the Islamic is causing this anger to be directed at police. If he wasn’t a Muslim he would be in prison.
“Greater Manchester Police, enough of the appeasement . The law must be enforced equally across all communities. Resentment and anger will grow because of your 2 tier policing.”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who posted photos of himself kneeling to appease Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020, has also been criticised for his response to the demonstrations.
On Thursday Mr Starmer called the Southport protesters a “gang of thugs” and promised a social media crackdown, the targeting of right-wing dissidents and the use of facial recognition technology to identify participants as part of a new national “violent disorder” program.

Mark Collett, the leader of nationalist activist group Patriotic Alternative, who has repeatedly condemned the violence and called for peaceful demonstrations only, said that Mr Starmer was “overwhelmingly” to blame for the unrest in Sunderland.
“Starmer could have called a press conference in which he reassured White Britons that he was going to take measures to protect their children and ensure stricter border controls,” Mr Collett wrote on social media.
“Instead Starmer insulted a large portion of the population, branding concerned people as criminals and calling on the police to clamp down on protests.
“The result is the outrage we witnessed last night.
“Starmer should apologise and then resign immediately.”
Patriotic Alternative said in a separate statement on Thursday: “Whilst we do not condone violence or disorder, the blame for these incidents lies with the establishment.”
“The government has imported untold thousands of murderous and violent migrants against the wishes of the public.
The police have allowed these migrants and their descendants to commit horrendous crimes against White Britons and then have covered them up, spending resources harassing Whites who dare to speak the truth.”
