Seems they've changed their title; More than 90 arrests after far-right demonstrations turn violent

With the tagline being: More than 90 people were arrested after demonstrations organised by far-right groups descended into riots in towns and cities across the UK on Saturday.

Personally I wouldn't say they turned violent, I'd say they were intended to be violent from the start. But I understand the BBC would need evidence of that before making the claim.

Do note that many journalistic outlets run A/B tests to see which headline performs better. Seeing a different headline than someone else is not automatically indicative of the source website "changing" the headline.

These aren't protests, they're race riots.

One group of anti-fascists is attacked by a group of "anti-immigration" protesters. Call them what they are aunty, you can do better.

Those aren't protests. They're pogroms based on a lie.
