Far-right riots centred on England’s deprivation hotspots

Areas hit by violence also have high proportion of asylum seekers housed there, FT analysis shows

I'm going to track down as many of you as I can. Please could people repost me, so others can see I am here - and I can find them, and them me. Blue skies, herds of unicorns and sunlit uplands beckon. Oh...and another two Tory candidates bite the dust, I understand 👍👍👍
