Anti-immigrant and anti-racism demonstrators have held rival protests in London outside a hotel housing asylum-seekers.

The Metropolitan Police service has warned counter protesters at an asylum hotel in Islington who are in breach of their imposed conditions that they will “be arrested” if they don’t follow orders. Rival groups have descended on the Thistle City Barbican Hotel, in Islington, this afternoon where they are being separated by officers.
