‘Send them home': British patriots fight back against UK's growing immigration crisis
Over the weekend, anti-immigration protests broke out in London, Manchester and Newcastle, with thousands attending in total.
The protests were held outside hotels used to house asylum seekers who entered the UK, with the demonstrations leading to 15 arrests.
The protest in Manchester's city centre saw a clash between counter-protesters, and the two groups briefly scuffled before police arrived on the scene.
Group 'Britain First' organised the protest in Manchester that saw roughly 1500 people waving English and Union Jack flags.
The group reportedly marched from Manchester Piccadilly station to outside the Central Library before a rally was held.

Titan submersible disaster was preventable: Coast Guard
The tour operator responsible for the Titan submersible, which fatally imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, 'leveraged intimidation tactics' to 'evade regulatory scrutiny,' a US Coast Guard investigation report has concluded. The disappearance of the Titan off Canada in June 2023 led to a search that grabbed worldwide attention. The incident resulted in the deaths of five people — including British adventurer Hamish Harding and father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood. The chief executive of tour operator OceanGate Expeditions, Stockton Rush, and French national Paul-Henri Nargeolet, were also killed in the incident. On Tuesday, the US Coast Guard published a 335-page report in which it identified eight 'primary causal factors' that led to the fatal implosion. The report said the implosion was 'preventable'. The report said OceanGate had a 'toxic workplace environment' and used the 'looming threat of being fired' to prevent staff from coming forward with safety concerns. It added that analysis revealed a 'disturbing pattern of misrepresentation and reckless disregard for safety'. The report criticised OceanGate's design and testing processes and the continued use of the Titan submersible despite 'a series of incidents that compromised the integrity of the hull and other critical components'. The tour operator's former director of engineering was reported by the US Coast Guard to have said the first hull used on the Titan submersible was akin to a 'high school project'. According to the report, a contractor hired by OceanGate in 2022 voiced 'numerous safety concerns' to a company director, before being told: 'You have a bad attitude, you don't have an explorer mindset, you know, we're innovative and we're cowboys, and a lot of people can't handle that'. Authored by lead investigator Thomas Whalen and marine board chairman Jason Neubauer, the report said that for several years preceding the incident, OceanGate 'leveraged intimidation tactics,' allowances for scientific operations, and 'the company's favourable reputation to evade regulatory scrutiny'. 'By strategically creating and exploiting regulatory confusion and oversight challenges, OceanGate was ultimately able to operate Titan completely outside of the established deep-sea protocols, which had historically contributed to a strong safety record for commercial submersibles,' the report said. 'The lack of both third-party oversight and experienced OceanGate employees on staff during their 2023 Titan operations allowed OceanGate's chief executive officer to completely ignore vital inspections, data analyses, and preventative maintenance procedures, culminating in a catastrophic event.' The submersible disaster has led to lawsuits and calls for tighter regulation of the developing private deep-sea expedition industry.

Nigel Farage calls out Sadiq Khan for refusing to debate on UK crime crisis
Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage has called out London Mayor Sadiq Khan for 'complacency' on the crime crisis gripping Britain's capital. 'The mayor does not wish to debate it; the mayor says don't worry, crime is okay, London is fine – well it's not,' Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray. 'It's that kind of complacency from Khan and indeed I think from the Labour Party, which is why we are seeing these astonishing rapid shifts in British politics.'
