Far right hate group Patriotic Alternative clash with campaigners in protest outside Scots 'asylum seeker hotel'
An extreme far-right group clashed with dozens of campaigners after hijacking a community protest over asylum seekers being housed at a Scots hotel.
The group, lead by PA’s Scotland organiser Kenny Smith, a former BNP election candidate, unfurled banners which stated "Scotland for Scots" and erected a podium to speak to the crowd. A heavy policing operation was drafted in for the protest, with officers forming a line between the two parties. The Erskine Against Asylum Hotel group was created on Facebook last Thursday after male asylum seekers, the majority of whom arrived from the Middle East, without community consultation. The hotel is being managed by the Mears Group on behalf of the Home Office.
