A 13-year-old girl has become the latest youngster to be convicted for her part in the widespread riots in the UK after admitting threatening unlawful violence outside a hotel housing asylum seekers.

The youth pleaded guilty to violent disorder at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday following a protest outside Potters International Hotel in Aldershot on July 31.
