They highlighted the broader problem of police and politicians catering to these communities at the expense of addressing the root causes of cultural isolation, and expressed concern about the lack of resources and leadership in addressing these issues.
Local residents have been warned to stay at home amid ongoing disorder in the Harehills area of Leeds.
There is a “large” police presence in the area – but no injuries have yet been reported, West Yorkshire Police said.
The owner of a restaurant in Harehills said the disorder was linked to local children being taken into care, adding that some people in the community have responded by setting fires and “throwing stones”.
Livestream footage on social media showed vehicles, including what appeared to be a bus, ablaze, with other videos showing an overturned police car on the road with its blue lights flashing, sirens blaring, car alarms going off and crowds of people in the street – some of them shouting.
Officers were called to an incident at an address in Luxor Street at 5pm on Thursday where they found an “ongoing disturbance” involving agency workers and children, according to police.
More people started to attend the location and the agency workers and children were taken to a safe place.
A crowd started to gather and more officers were requested to attend the area where “pockets of disorder” were emerging.
In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said: “More officers have been deployed to the area to assist with the management of this incident.
“Some road closures are also being implemented and people are advised to avoid the area at this time.”
Helicopters have been seen in the area.
Salma Arif, councillor for Gipton and Harehills, warned residents to stay at home in a video she posted on social media, featuring an East Leeds Neighbourhood Policing Inspector.
Ms Arif said: “There is an ongoing situation currently in Harehills, we’re aware of that so police is here.
“We are asking everybody in the area to please stay at home at this moment in time.”
The inspector added: “If you could all stay where you are, stay in your houses, we will manage this and if you’re out in the crowd I would just ask you to go home please so we can keep everybody safe.”

There's loads of Asians moved into our small village in Wales. No introduction into the community, no one asked the locals, it's going to have to come down to us or them. It will be the British men who will have to deal with it. The government have lost control

The BBC is describing what happened as "pockets of disorder" around the area. They have also stated that this was "caused by" local authorities taking children away from their family. It is very clear they are placing the blame at the feet of local authorities for daring to respond to certain people commiting offences.
