Asylum hotel protesters met by counter-demonstrators across UK • FRANCE 24 English

Protests against the use of hotels to house asylum seekers took place across the UK, with demonstrators gathering in cities such as Bristol, Liverpool, and London, as well as in Mold, Perth, and County Antrim. In many areas, police intervened to keep rival groups apart as anti-racism campaigners staged counter-demonstrations. The unrest follows a High Court ruling earlier this week that blocked plans to use a hotel in Epping, Essex, for asylum accommodation, prompting several local authorities in England to consider launching their own legal challenges. Simon Moritz and Ethan Hajji tell us more.
