A vigil for three young girls killed in a knife attack in Southport, UK, was disrupted by a far-right group, the English Defence League (EDL), who falsely claimed the attacker was Muslim. This misinformation sparked violent clashes, injuring 39 police officers and highlighting the EDL’s continued presence and influence despite declining membership. Political leaders have condemned the violence and called for action against the group, while social media companies have been urged to address the spread of misinformation.
