Major protest surrounds asylum seeker hotel

DOZENS of anti-immigration protesters gathered outside a Solihull hotel as as part of a wave of asylum hotel protests across the country at the weekend.

The protesters were demonstrating under the Abolish Asylum System slogan outside the Castle Bromwich Holiday Inn Express on Sunday.

Shouts of “save our children” and crude criticism of Keir Starmer rang out from the protesters, who turned their attention to the residents inside the hotel.

One man wore a t-shirt saying “send the f*****g boats back”, another wore a cap saying “make Britain great again”.

Others hurled abuse by sticking their two fingers up and pointing and jeering at residents inside.

By around 12.30pm, the flag-draped group then moved from standing outside the hotel entrance, to going around the side and back, and circling it.
