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.

Lives “will be lost” unless the UK does more to prepare for wildfires, experts warn, after a record-breaking summer saw 1,350 wildfires in England and Wales alone.
“Tinderbox” conditions created by a long, hot, dry summer brought the worst wildfire season on record in 2026.
Dozens of homes were destroyed or damaged, huge areas of land burned, and one man died.
The UK government banned disposable barbecues, sent a wildfire alert to people’s mobile phones and made £97m available, and a wildfire summit is planned – but are we still behind the curve?
In this episode of Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith speaks to Adrian Goldberg from File on 4 Investigates about what he found on the ground.

Is the way we date changing?
Studies suggest the time spent on dating apps has dropped in recent years. BBC News crashed an ‘in person’ speed-dating event to ask attendees about their dating habits, and if they’re too skint to date.

So when you try and keep the local culture and it's infrastructure to be able to cope.with its general populations needs and requirements from being overan by the real "outsiders" ( illegal immigrants) you become suddenly far right and right wing now ….
This reporting is biased towards wokism and leftist thinking.
Shame on BBC for not being neutral or objective in it's reporting .
Basically the government and local council have messed up and created this issue .

They're not far right. I'm sick and tired of the BBC calling everyone far right just for saying they've had enough and something should be done.
People just want common sense with regards to immigration.
I'm all for legal immigration and refugees but most of the people aren't refugees. They are ILLEGAL immigrants. Yes iLLEGAL (prohibited by law)
They should be sent back.

The obnoxiously 'woke' biased BBC refers to anyone who is not far left as "far right".
BTW these people are not "refugees", they are ECONOMIC MIGRANTS.
