A COUNTER protest has been confirmed after far-right group Patriotic Alternative confirmed plans to target a Scottish hotel set to house asylum seekers.
On Tuesday night, Stand Up to Racism (SUTR), in partnership with Paisley and Clydebank Trades Councils and locals, called a counter-protest to the protest - which locals claim has been hijacked by extremist right-wing Patriotic Alternative (PA).
PA was reported to be attempting to use a local Facebook group set up by residents of Erskine, who are campaigning against plans for almost 200 asylum seekers to be housed in the MGM Muthu Glasgow River Hotel.
