Timeline
27 August
At approximately 20:00 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
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 is low.
Supreme Leader 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, Nicholasgrad, Cardiff, Croydon, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Leicester, Liverpool and 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.
