Flares thrown towards Downing Street as violent mob clashes with police following Southport riot

Police have clashed with violent protesters throwing flares and bottles towards Downing Street in the wake of the Southport knife attack.

Hundreds of demonstrators have gathered in London to take part in the Enough Is Enough protest that was promoted by Tommy Robinson following the killing of three girls in the tragic incident at a Taylor swift dance class.

Flares have been launched at the statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square while beer cans and glass bottles have been launched at police in riot gear who assembled to block Whitehall in front of Downing Street.
