Counter-terror units will be assisting police as they brace for more protests this evening across the United Kingdom posts the BBC 🔗. They quote the Head of Counter Terrorism Policing Assistant Commissioner Matt Jukes as saying “We are supporting local forces with protective security expertise and advice”.

He goes on to add “our message to those involved in this disorder is: We are watching and we will not hesitate to use our powers to protect our communities”.

This latest rhetoric comes one day after the UKs top prosecutor Stephen Parkinson said they’d “consider terrorism offences” against those involved with planning riots.
