As the situation in Southport remains tense after violence last night, police are dealing with another protest outside Downing Street. It follows false reports that the suspect in Monday's knife attack was an asylum seeker.
The Enough Is Enough protest began around Whitehall at 7pm, with a police-enforced dispersal order having come into force at 8.30pm."Protesters have now been told to remain in one place, the police are going in and making some arrests, but it seems to have been cooling down slightly," Cheshire says.
"I have three children, everyday I hug my children and I can't think what it must be like to not do that ever again, it is just terrible. But people should not be worried about coming to Southport," Mr Wallace said."Please no one think Southport is not a safe place… don't listen to all this nonsense on social media, people like to get others worried and scared, there is no reason to be scared.
In a bid to keep control of the crowds, who gathered around an hour ago in a protest which is being called Enough Is Enough, a police helicopter is also flying over the area of the capital amid unrest.Officers led many people away in handcuffs.A few hundred protesters were earlier heard chanting"Rule Britannia" and seen throwing flares towards the gates of Downing Street and glass bottles towards police.
At the end of that extension period , the police must decide whether to release them or charge them. Police have detained a man wearing a balaclava near to Downing Street as a right-wing protest continues in the capital. The Whitehall area has been closed by police and protesters have been pushed back from Parliament Square.
The right-wing protest held in the wake of last night's Southport riot, which is being called Enough Is Enough, started around 7pm.
