Hull City Council unanimously passed a motion condemning the violent scenes seen in the city last month in an extraordinary full council meeting.
Council Leader, Cllr Mike Ross prefaced his motion by stating "this is not something any of us would want to be talking about here today, and nor would we have wanted the need for this special meeting."
Cllr Ross proclaimed that those who committed acts of violence and destruction "did not reflect the true city of Hull" and "did not reflect the attitudes that the people of Hull have."
Cllr Ross also said the fact that many of those involved in the violence were young people was "shocking" and "is something that cannot be ignored".
After a Labour Party amendment, which was gladly accepted by the Liberal Democrat Cllr Ross, the terms 'racist' and 'far-right' were included into the writing of the motion.

The leader of the City Council's Labour group, Cllr Daren Hale, seconded the motion following the acceptance of the Labour amendment and said the violence in the city was "instigated by the far-right" who wanted to spread "hate" and "fear".
The Council Leader, Cllr Ross, ended the debate by thanking the Labour Party for the cross-party support as he hopes the motion "sends out a strong message that as a council we do not want to see this happen again on our streets."
Just hours before the meeting, Humberside Police announced that another six people had been charged in connection with the riot on August 3.
