Britain has erupted into chaos this week after violent riots have taken hold of the country, leaving police officers with broken bones, buildings set on fire and shops looted.
This weekend, dozens of protests were planned across Britain with police forces on standby for more scenes of disruption.
It comes as the country has been engulfed by a week of violent riots, sparked by the Southport stabbing frenzy at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party left three little girls dead on Monday.
By Tuesday violent protesters and members of the far-right descended on the streets of the Merseyside town, surrounding a local Mosque after misinformation spread that the killer had been a migrant who arrived on a small boat.
Since then more anarchy has been seen across the country – with many gathering in London on Wednesday for a protest outside Whitehall.
And this weekend there have been further planned protests and eruptions of violence with anti-immigration protests taking place in Belfast, Manchester and Leeds, to name a few.
In the last 48 hours alone, police forces have arrested more than 100 people as they try and grapple with the unprecedented levels of anarchy.
And this afternoon more protests kicked off in Rotherham with an angry mob setting fire to a Holiday Inn Hotel where migrants stay. More are also expected in Rushmoor, Weymouth, Middlesborough and Lancaster this afternoon.
MailOnline looks at all the violent protests that have taken place since Friday night.
