Protests against migrant hotels and asylum are taking place today after clashes between police and protesters at demonstrations across the UK yesterday. Abolish Asylum protests are happening in Birmingham and Canary Wharf in east London, where the Britannia Hotel has been a flashpoint for actions by anti-immigration and anti-racism campaigners in recent weeks.
Demonstrations under the Abolish Asylum System slogan were held on Saturday in towns and cities across England, including Bristol, Exeter, Tamworth, Cannock, Nuneaton, Liverpool, Wakefield, Newcastle and Horley in Surrey. There were also protests in Aberdeen and Perth in Scotland as well as Mold in Flintshire, Wales. A separate batch of protests were organised by Stand Up to Racism in Bristol, Cannock, Leicester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Wakefield, Horley and Long Eaton in Derbyshire.
In Bristol, there were reports of police "pushing and shoving" protesters as anti-migrant and anti-racist groups clashed.
