A list of target addresses for far-right protests was circulating on Telegram channels and then on social media for days , raising alarm that attacks on Muslims and asylum seekers over the weekend would return.

But then the counter-protests started, and a nervous country breathed a huge sigh of relief after a night that could have felt very different.

The government says it remains on high alert for more unrest this weekend , but the fury simmering in White Britain remains a live danger.

Britain 's far-right rioting broke out less than a month into the tenure of its new Prime Minister Keir Starmer .

Starmer oversaw a rapid legal response to the 2011 rioting that broke out after the shooting of a Black man by police in north London .

He has reached for the same playbook this week , with hundreds of arrests, and dozens of rioters have been charged and sent to begin hefty prison terms.
