Chaos breaks out at the Holiday Inn in Rotherham, South Yorkshire as tensions rise between migrants and the locals

According to reports, a far-right mob has set fire to a Holiday Inn Express hotel in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, which was being used to house migrants. Masked rioters, some draped in England flags, clashed with police outside the hotel, resulting in windows being smashed, objects, including chairs and pieces of wood, being thrown at police and the hotel and at least one injured police officer.

The hotel, which was previously used to house migrants, was the site of a confrontation between anti-immigration protesters and law enforcement. The situation escalated, with a large group of protesters forcing their way into the hotel.

It is unclear if any migrants remain living at the hotel, as the previous Conservative administration had vowed to close over 100 such facilities this year. 17GEN4.com
