Enough is Enough protestors march through Skegness over asylum seekers in hotels

Enough is Enough protestors marched through Skegness in opposition to asylum seekers being housed in hotels in the coastal town. Many of the participants who took part held anti-refugee banners and placards, reports Lincolnshire Live.

Tensions in the coastal town have been high since asylum seekers were moved into a number of hotels, with many local residents and councillors saying the issue could affect the town's tourist-based economy in the summer.

Around 200 people are thought to have attended the demonstration on Saturday (February 25). In an update, Lincolnshire Police said the incident had passed with no arrests or reported incidents.
