Will there be more riots this weekend?

Aug 9, 2024 | thetimes.com | Ollie Cole |Emma Yeomans

The rallies and threatened attacks on the asylum system did not materialise on Wednesday and Thursday night but communities remain on edge at the prospect of further unrest. The past ten days have provided the worst scenes of far-right street violence in the UK since the 1970s.

'I think we're going to discover alien life next year [in 2024],' she said. 'There's definitely alien life out there.
