Farage again stokes division

So, yet again, the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is stoking division by supporting yet more demonstrations about asylum seekers accommodation across the UK.

People may have a right to be concerned about money spent on hotels for asylum seekers, but at the end of the day, these people are human beings too and there is a due process that must be respected.

Hence, at a time when Sir Keir Starmer is working flat out to clear up this Tory mess, the protests do nothing but waste police resources and play into the hands of ambitious wannabe politicians who are hell bent on power at any cost.

That's not patriotism. It is toxic, it is dangerous, and it is something that could so easily get out of control.

More protests are planned around the country, targeting hotels that often house vulnerable asylum seekers-men, women, and children fleeing war, persecution, and hardship. These protests, fuelled by far-right rhetoric, aim to dehumanise refugees and turn public frustration against some of the most powerless people in society.
