The chaos has so far taken hold of dozens of UK towns and cities with little sign of abating.
It comes as plotters are threatening to stir up more hatred with further demonstrations planned in the coming days.
Far-right yobs are understood to be planning to attack 39 immigration centres and have shared a sick ‘arson manual’ in a vile online forum.

How riots rocked Britain
Violent clashes broke out in dozens of towns and cities last week and over the weekend following the murders of three girls in Southport.

Terrifying violence erupted hours after the attack in Southport later spreading to Hartlepool and Manchester on Wednesday.
Riots then broke out in Sunderland and Blackpool on Friday - and in 11 more cities on Saturday and Sunday.

The violence has been fuelled by a "rogues' gallery" of far-right agitators including Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate and Britain First's Paul Golding.
