The housing has proved controversial in Skegness, with hundreds attending a public meeting | Photo: LDRS/The Lincolnite A march arranged by angry locals was given support by the group, which stoked local tensions on social media with ‘Enough is enough’ posters in the lead up to the event. Its followers rolled into the rally in the town like a Trojan horse, their aim to grow their rabble of followers and to spread fear of an ‘immigrant takeover’.
Following the protest, PA claimed “upwards of 400 people came to support us and hear speeches from locals including the neglected homeless” – though the number has been widely reported as between 200 and 300.
