Far-Right Protesters CLASH With Pro-Migrant Groups Outside Asylum Hotel |Nigel Farage Behind Unrest?

Anti-immigration protesters and pro-migrant groups clashed in London and Manchester, with police making multiple arrests amid rising tensions. Demonstrators outside a London hotel housing asylum seekers faced counter-protesters carrying messages of solidarity such as “You are valued, wanted, and welcome.” Far-right groups including Patriots of Britain and Britain First rallied against migrant accommodation, while anti-racism activists, joined by political figures like Jeremy Corbyn, outnumbered them. Police reported breaches of Public Order conditions, scuffles, and arrests, as the immigration debate intensifies and Nigel Farage’s rhetoric draws renewed scrutiny. #LondonProtests #MigrantRights #AntiRacism #StandUpToRacism #ImmigrationDebate #ProtestClashes #PublicOrder #JeremyCorbyn #NigelFarage #BritainFirst #PatriotsOfBritain #ManchesterProtest #YouAreWelcome #AsylumSeekers #MigrantSupport #FarRight #CounterProtest #HumanRights #Solidarity #AntiFascism #RefugeesWelcome #UKElections #LondonNews #ManchesterNews #UKPolitics #ProtestNews #FarRightProtests #RacismUK #AntiRacismProtest #ImmigrationUK ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.124~
