A far-right extremist group has been accused of trying to hijack a Renfrewshire community’s protest against asylum seekers being housed in a hotel.
Campaigners in Erskine have said they fear the involvement of Patriotic Alternative (PA) will besmirch their image as they continue to seek answers as to why nobody was consulted about the move to house up to 174 asylum seekers in the MGM Mutha Glasgow River Hotel, which is being managed by the Mears Group on behalf of the Home Office.
Derek Stitt set up the Erskine Against Asylum Hotel Facebook group last week. It has almost 700 members.
