Activists from Homeland party, which split from Patriotic Alternative, set up groups to spread protests beyond Epping
Members of a far-right nationalist party are helping to organise protests outside hotels used to house asylum seekers across the UK, according to a series of Facebook posts and groups created in recent weeks.
Activists for the Homeland party, which was formed as a splinter organisation from Patriotic Alternative, Britain’s biggest far-right group, have set up a number of online groups in an attempt to spread the protests that recently engulfed a hotel in Epping.
Their involvement adds to concerns raised by some campaigners that the protests are being infiltrated and bolstered by people with far-right connections. Protests are expected to take place over the weekend in 20 towns and cities across the UK.
The Facebook groups show that Homeland has been active in various spots around the country, including Epping, Wethersfield, Peterborough and Nuneaton.
