Cinq personnes ont été arrêtées depuis mardi, lors de rassemblements en réaction à un projet d’hébergement de demandeurs d’asile dans une base militaire désaffectée de la Royal Air Force.

Frustration exploded into fury in Thetford, Norfolk, following weeks of protests at a nearby former military barracks which has already been earmarked to take 1,250 male migrants.

One officer was hit by a rock and another was bitten as the angry crowd gathered in the Norfolk town of Thetford.
