The head of security at accommodation for vulnerable disabled asylum seekers has been removed from his duties over concerns about his alleged support for the far-right English Defence League and Tommy Robinson, the Guardian has learned.
The asylum seekers, who have a range of disabilities, have been accommodated by the Home Office in a former care home in Nigel Farage’s Clacton constituency in an area where officials from the local Tendring district council have recorded the area’s highest level of hate crimes.
