Thank you for attending and reporting that our county can and should be about compassion not hate . We need local journalists on the ground .. especially after reading how local reporting is being repressed in Nottinghamshire .

My wife and I joined the counter-protest today. It was good to see the community standing up to those racist bullies. If you are not empathy-impaired I encourage you to try a thought experiment. Imagine the trauma of cowering in a hotel surrounded by angry racists! I struggle to imagine how discouraging it must be to flee persecution in your homeland, only to face it here too. Blaming migrants is a clever tactic by the billionaires who cause the problems in our country. It's not immigrants who are raising rents by buying up all the houses, suppressing the wages and bribing the politicians to tax the working class into becoming the working poor. It's the tax-dodgers in the luxury yachts that are the problem, not the poor people arriving in small boats. Sadly, the gullible are easily conned into blaming the wrong people.
