Posters placed on Ness Bridge as Inverness locals stand up for ‘hope not hate’ after far-right riots across the UK

Posters have been placed on Ness Bridge as demonstrators make a stand against racism.

People met yesterday standing up for hope rather than hate and against the far-right.

Thousands of anti-racism protesters have rallied in cities and towns across the UK after a week of anti-immigrant rioting and disorder in England and Northern Ireland.

Rioting was sparked by misinformation online that the suspect in the fatal stabbing of three little girls in Southport on July 29 was a Muslim asylum seeker.

Mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers were among places targeted during the disorder, with some shops burnt out and looted.

Scotland has avoided the presence of far-right riots.
