Far-right nationalists protest against housing refugees in Skegness hotels - BBC Newsnight

The issue of how to house those who arrive in the UK on small boats in order to claim asylum is becoming more acute as the numbers arriving increase. 

Where more permanent accommodation is unavailable, Home Office policy is to house them in hotels around the country, at a cost of approximately £4.7 million a day.

With public services in many of the towns they are placed in already stretched, this is causing friction with local communities who feel ignored by those who are deciding where to house people. 

In some areas, far rights groups are exploiting those community concerns, and organising protests. Last weekend, hotels in Skegness were boarded up in preparation for one of those protests. Newsnight's Yasminara Khan was there.

This isn't "far-right", this is about local's rights.

If our government cares so much for people in need, why are they not housing all the homeless in our country into hotels?

How can you say families worried about their town and their daughters are far right? This country has gone mad. You can't speak up for yourself without being branded far right.

You made a point of saying the protesters are not from the area. Well, nor are the occupants of the hotel.
