“The people of Knowsley are not bigots and are welcoming to people escaping from some of the most dangerous places in the world in search of a place of safety. Those demonstrating against refugees at this protest tonight do not represent this community. We are not like that and overwhelmingly behave with sympathy and kindness to others regardless of where they come from.”

#RefugeesWelcome

After a violent protest by far right groups outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Knowsley, U.K., we are still waiting for any kind of statement from Prime Minister Sunak or Home Secretary Braverman.

Are either of them going to condemn these protestors for attacking the very group they have both spent months attacking?

Here in the U.K. we witnessed a horrific and violent protest outside a hotel housing refugees in Knowsley, Merseyside. Police barely managed to keep the 'protestors' outside the hotel. They were intent on doing harm to people whose only 'crime' was being refugees.

This morning we are still waiting for any kind of statement from Prime Minister Sunak or Home Secretary Braverman.

Perhaps they are still deciding whose side they are on?

This will come as no surprise, but last night's violent far right protests in Knowsley, U.K. were promoted freely on social media.

Facebook has groups like 'Hotels Housing Illegals' and Twitter has accounts like Yorkshire Rose(Get The Migrants Out).

All of these groups were promoting violent disorder and hate speech last night, and are celebrating violent disorder and hate speech this morning, with no consequence.

There are laws against this.
But where is the accountability?
