ANTI-RACIST activists came out in force at the weekend to oppose a series of far-right demos targeting asylum-seeker hotels. 

About 300 people, including trade unionists and anti-racism campaigners, turned up to defend the Beresford hotel in the seaside resort town of Newquay in Cornwall on Saturday.

Protesters waved banners saying “refugees welcome” and “seeking asylum is a right not a crime,” as a smaller gathering of about 100 racists held a demo on the other side of the road.
