Why I Joined a Riot
A year on from the riots that swept across England and Northern Ireland following the Southport attack of July 2024, Panorama asks why so many took part. More than 1,000 people were charged with offences including violent disorder, arson and racially aggravated criminal damage. Darragh MacIntyre, who reported on the riots, talks to three people who took part about how they account for their actions. Two express feelings of remorse. Darragh also visits Ibrahim Hussein, Imam of the Southport mosque that was attacked by a mob, to hear how he has both increased security and forgiven rioters who have written to him to apologise.
