After [[Nicholas and Great Britain (Pacifica)|Nicholas and Great British]] invasion plans for [[East Romordia (Pacifica)|East Romordia]] were leaked onto WikiLeaks on 25 August 2024, protests took place across Nicholas and Great Britain. Protests escalated into violence when protesters were arrested and after the shooting of a protester in [[Bristol (Pacifica)|Bristol]] on 26 August, riots took place in various towns and cities. The riots, which are the largest incidents of social unrest in Nicholas and Great Britain [[2022 Nicholas and Great British riots (Pacifica)|since 2022]], have included arson and looting.
==Overview==
===Background===
Protests across Nicholas and Great Britain took place after Nicholas and Great British invasion plans for East Romordia were leaked onto WikiLeaks on 25 August 2024. Protests escalated into riots when protesters were arrested and after the shooting of a protester in Bristol, who later died, riots took place.
==Timeline==
===27 August===
[[File:Bristolriots.jpeg|left|thumb|250x250px|Protests in Bristol]] At approximately 20:00 [[Cordilian Eastern Summer Time (Pacifica)|CEST]], hundreds of protesters gathered in Bedminster Parade and East Street, Bristol, outside a police station. Within several minutes, protesters clashed with police. By 20:22, protesters began throwing objects at police. As police attempted to fight back with smoke canisters and rubber bullets, protesters began using petrol bombs. Police were overwhelmed and were pushed back. By 20:48, the police station was set on fire. A bus and another police van were also set on fire. Over 100 officers were injured during the incident.
===28 August===
[[File:2019-09-15 Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protest 036.jpg|thumb|273x273px|Protests in Nicholasgrad]]
Police presence in large cities across the country was increased as the police predicted the riots would soon spread to other cities, especially cities where support for the [[Socialist Nationalist Party of Nicholas and Great Britain (Pacifica)|Socialist Nationalist Party]] is low.

[[Supreme Leader of Nicholas and Great Britain (Pacifica)|Supreme Leader]] [[Nicholas McGregor (Pacifica)|Nicholas McGregor]] chaired an emergency meeting over the recent riots in Bristol and unrest across the country.

Somerset Police announced a curfew within the Bristol city borders that will last from 7pm to 3am for the next two days. However, despite the curfew, thousands of protesters took to the streets for another night of rioting. Riots also took place in [[London (Pacifica)|London]], [[Nicholasgrad (Pacifica)|Nicholasgrad]], [[Cardiff (Pacifica)|Cardiff]], [[Croydon (Pacifica)|Croydon]], [[Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Pacifica)|Newcastle-upon-Tyne]], [[Leicester (Pacifica)|Leicester]], [[Liverpool (Pacifica)|Liverpool]] and [[Leeds (Pacifica)|Leeds]]. Many of these cities saw events similar to those in Bristol with police stations being burnt down in Nicholasgrad, Croydon, Liverpool and Cardiff. In Nicholasgrad, a statue of Nicholas McGregor was toppled, dragged through the streets and then dumped into the river.
===29 August===
Supreme Leader Nicholas McGregor addressed the nation in a speech, in which he called the protesters "violent anarchist mobs."

Many jailed protesters began a hunger strike.

Riots continued in the cities that had rioted the day before and riots also broke out in [[Manchester (Pacifica)|Manchester]], [[Glasgow (Pacifica)|Glasgow]], [[Swansea (Pacifica)|Swansea]] and [[Durness (Pacifica)|Durness]]. However, these riots were on a smaller scale to those seen the day before. 
===30 August===
The 30th of August saw worse violence than any of the previous days as riots worsened in the cities that had rioted before and also took place in [[Sheffield (Pacifica)|Sheffield]], [[Bradford (Pacifica)|Bradford]], [[Luchester (Pacifica)|Luchester]], [[Birmingham (Pacifica)|Birmingham]], [[Clavering (Pacifica)|Clavering]], [[Coventry (Pacifica)|Coventry]], [[Reading (Pacifica)|Reading]], [[Nottingham (Pacifica)|Nottingham]], [[Wolverhampton (Pacifica)|Wolverhampton]], [[Dover (Pacifica)|Dover]], [[Cramlington (Pacifica)|Cramlington]] and [[Plymouth (Pacifica)|Plymouth]]. Protesters began taking measures to avoid being tracked such as wearing face coverings, paying for transport with cash and destroying or covering up security cameras.

In Bristol, protestors attempted and failed to create a temporary autonomous zone in the area of Redcliffe.

In Nicholasgrad, protestors placed objects onto roads to block them and over a thousand protestors hunkered down in the University of Nicholasgrad’s main campus. Makeshift barricades were put up around the building. Police surrounded the building and set a 10pm deadline for protesters to leave the campus or they will face arrest. After 10pm, thousands of protesters from around Nicholasgrad attacked the police surrounding the university campus in an effort to allow protesters from inside the campus to escape. Meanwhile, protesters from inside the building set fire to the entrances to stop police from getting in. Some protesters escaped the building through the sewer system.

Counter-protests also took place across the country with people expressing support for the police and government. Many of these counter-protesters have been attacked by protesters. In certain places such as Luchester and Sheffield, counter-protesters heavily outnumbered protesters. In other towns and cities such as [[Glenmore (Pacifica)|Glenmore]] and [[Swindon (Pacifica)|Swindon]], counter-protests turned up whilst protests failed to materialise.

===31 August===
Curfews were implemented in many cities across the country. 

The 31st of August saw many [[BFA Cup (Pacifica)|BFA Cup]] fixtures, one of which was Sunderland AFC vs Newcastle United FC, a derby known as the Tyne-Wear derby. The cities of [[Sunderland (Pacifica)|Sunderland]] and Newcastle-upon-Tyne mostly differ when it comes to political views, and have done for hundreds of years, with Sunderland being a mostly pro-Socialist Nationalist area (with yesterday’s counter protests having vastly outnumbered the riot that was due to happen there) whilst  Newcastle-upon-Tyne had seen large anti-police brutality riots in the past few days. After the match ended, which saw a narrow 2-3 win for Newcastle, fans invaded the pitch and fights broke out. Violence spread outside the stadium and into the streets as Newcastle fans started looting and chanting anti-police chants. They were soon attacked by Sunderland residents as the police struggled to contain the violence. 2 Newcastle fans were stabbed in the incident, one of which died later that day.

Riots took place in many more towns and cities across the country.

Counter-protesters clashed with protesters as thousands of people from more Socialist Nationalist supporting towns and cities travel to cities where riots took place. Police discovered a connection with football hooligan firms. For example, in [[Norwich (Pacifica)|Norwich]], members from the [[Ipswich (Pacifica)|Ipswich]] hooligan firm Blue Action clashed with anti-police brutality protesters. The police were criticised for their restrained responses to the violent counter-protests.

In Shipley, a small town on the outskirts of the city of Bradford, a volunteer police officer was stabbed to death. The murderer has been identified as an anti-police brutality protester from central Bradford. This incident drew in criticism to the movement.
===1 September===
In a press conference, Supreme Leader Nicholas McGregor said that the police will show “zero tolerance” to anti-government protesters.
