Patriotic Alternative posted anti-migrant leaflets before Merseyside riot

Britain’s fastest growing far-right group delivered hundreds of leaflets attacking migrants to homes in Merseyside days before a riot outside a hotel accommodating asylum seekers, it can be revealed.

Patriotic Alternative has denied being involved in Friday night’s disorder in Knowsley in which a police riot van was torched.

However, The Times has uncovered a video filmed during the riot by one of its activists, James Costello, in which he accused the police of deliberately stoking tensions.
