It’s more important than ever to speak out against far-right hatred
Anti-asylum-seeker protests are on the rise as a result of Home Office policy that pits people against each other, warns DAWN EVANS

AT THE end of March in a Morning Star article I reported on anti-refugee protests and counter-protests which took place outside a Newquay hotel in Cornwall housing refugees and asylum-seekers. 

I recounted the successful nature of the counter-protests organised by anti-racist and refugee-support-groups in the area.

The counter-protesters easily outnumbered the fear- and hate-fuelled protests by about 10 to one, and so effectively prevented the would-be refugee ejectors from getting anywhere near the hotel front to intimidate the residents.
