Members of Patriotic Alternative have been gathering at Muthu Glasgow River Hotel in Erskine every Sunday
Protesters have clashed at a hotel in Renfrewshire for the third week in a row over plans to accommodate asylum seekers. Members of the far-right hate group Patriotic Alternative have been gathering at the Muthu Glasgow River Hotel in Erskine every Sunday in protest at plans to accommodate 200 asylum seekers.
In a video posted from the demonstration, he said: "You only have to look at their website to see that's the case. The truth of the matter is, Erskine, and I speak for Erskine, we say yes. Yes to refugees, no to the Patriotic Alternative. They can go away, they are not welcome in Erskine. Refugees, we welcome them."
Community concerns about asylum seekers being accommodated in the hotel surfaced last month after Erskine Community Council became aware that around 200 men aged between 18 and 40 would be housed at the hotel. Writing on his official Facebook page last month, he said: "I utterly despise and condemn the words and actions of far-right groups who have latched on to this issue and sought to use it for their own racist and xenophobic ends.
