Bristol Post
|August 04, 2025

-
The police service “should not be caught off-guard again”, Sir Andy Cooke, His Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services, wrote in The Sunday Telegraph.
Disorder broke out after the murder of three girls at a dance class in the Merseyside town on July 29 last year. It quickly spread to other areas and mosques, community centres and libraries were attacked while hotels housing asylum seekers were also targeted.
