He emphasized that the full force of the law would be brought to bear on individuals who participated in the violence, whether directly or indirectly. "Be in no doubt, those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law. The police will be making arrests, individuals will be held on remand, charges will follow and convictions will follow. I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves," said the UK PM.

Attacks on Rotherham Hotel
