On August 7, protesters in Liverpool chant "Stop the fascists now" during a demonstration against far-right groups that do not show up as expected. This protest follows more than a week of violent racist attacks targeting Muslims and migrants.

The crowd is diverse, including Muslims, anti-racist and anti-fascist groups, trade unionists, left-wing organizations, and local residents who are outraged by the recent riots. The riots began early last week after a knife attack in Southport, northwest England, resulted in the deaths of three young girls. This incident led to a wave of misinformation online, falsely identifying the suspected attacker as an Islamist migrant.

The anti-racism protesters gather in Liverpool to stand against the anticipated far-right groups and to express their condemnation of the violence and racism that has plagued the country.
