Two out of every five protestors arrested at last years anti-immigrant protests had a history of domestic abuse

Regarding the upsettingly wide-spread and often violent anti-immigrant protests last year that occurred after the appalling Southport murder:

Two out of every five people arrested after participating in last summer’s riots had been previously reported to the police for domestic abuse

…

Previous offences include actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, stalking, breach of restraint and non-molestation orders, controlling coercive behaviour and criminal damage.

These protests aren’t really anything to do with ‘protecting our women and girls’ (whatever the ‘our’ in that common claim is supposed to mean).

We know many of the protests were instigated or attended by some extremely racist far right extremists. And now it seems like a high proportion of those arrested for their criminal actions at these protests are themselves have a history of violence, often against women.
