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.

There have been black people in Britain for longer than a lot of these British people’s ancestors were there. Farage sure as hell isn’t an English name. The first black people came to Britain in the third century with the Romans.

If by ours, you mean Americans, I’m actually a dual citizen but I’ve spent almost all of my life in the U.S.
I just try my best to learn about the UK since I have the passport and all.
I just assumed based on your command of the facts, sorry! All the better though…
Farage is an anglicisation of a centuries old Scottish name, just so you know. But you’re right that it isn’t about anything beyond skin colour.
