In Southport , a seaside town in mourning after a murderous attack on a children’s dance party, hundreds of rioters descended to target a mosque, vandalise homes and businesses, and leave more than 50 police officers injured.

In Hartlepool , officers were assailed with missiles and glass bottles, a mosque came under attack, and a police car was set alight.

In Sunderland this weekend several hundred rioters, some in balaclavas, reportedly set fire to a building.

Some observers argue that the EDL no longer exists in a formal sense, so imposing a legal ban may not have much effect.

The far right has gone into a “post-organisational” phase in which splinter groups and freelance extremists use messaging apps and social media to sow their lies, manufacture anger, seed unrest and generate disorder.

The Home Office responded that it never comments on whether an organisation is being considered for proscription.
